New Mexico water managers celebrate new Springer Dam

SPRINGER, N.M. (AP) – Two small, old dams that had been deemed by New Mexico water managers as most likely to fail have been replaced.
Officials with the Office of the State Engineer and the town of Springer gathered Monday to celebrate the completion of the new Springer Dam with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
State Engineer Tom Blaine says the new dam will help provide a safe and reliable water supply for the northern New Mexico community.
The project was funded by $7 million in state capital
