Thank you for taking some time out of your day to visit the Town of Estancia!
For more than 100 years, people have come to rest in the "Heart of New Mexico". Estancia (which means "resting place") is rich in history and character. Throughout recorded history, Estancia has been a popular stopping point for travelers, thanks to its clean spring-fed lake. The area has been historically associated with agriculture, including cattle ranching and farming. The Town of Estancia has made the visual attractiveness of the commercial district and preservation of a small-town atmosphere a high priority.
Estancia can be considered the area's most aggressive communities with respect to providing amenities to it's citizens. Estancia boasts an agricultural award-winning public library. Arthur Park, with it's lake, provides area residents and visitors with fishing, picnicking and other recreational opportunities. The town is the first community in the Estancia Valley to build an aquatic Center (swimming pool) and remains the only public pool in the county. Estancia is also home to the Torrance County Fairgrounds and rodeo arena, as well as the Annual Estancia Punkin Chunkin'. The town also hosts various summer park activities including an annual fireworks display and music festivals.
Community Water Conservation Notice
The Town of Estancia is asking all residents, businesses, and community members to conserve water beginning today and continuing through the summer months.
At this time, the Town’s water storage tanks are low, and staff is actively working to address the situation. To assist with recovery and help maintain reliable water service, we are asking the community to reduce unnecessary water use wherever possible.
Please help by:
• Limiting outdoor watering
• Watering only early in the morning or later in the evening, if necessary
• Avoiding washing vehicles, sidewalks, driveways, or buildings
• Checking for leaks in faucets, hoses, toilets, and irrigation systems
• Using water only as needed
This is a conservation request to help support the Town’s water system. There is no need for alarm, but community cooperation is important at this time.
The Town appreciates everyone’s patience, cooperation, and responsible water use as staff continues working on the issue.
Thank you for helping conserve water in Estancia.
