Bosque Farms · Valencia County
Between Isleta Pueblo and Peralta along NM 47, Bosque Farms runs on groundwater. Whether yours comes from the village system or a well behind the barn, we test it in your kitchen and recommend only what the results support.
The Village of Bosque Farms pumps groundwater from deep wells in the Rio Grande basin and disinfects it with chlorine before it reaches homes. It's a small, local system serving a community known for horse properties, hay fields and roomy lots, and the village handles its testing and reporting the way every public system must.
Not every address is on that system. Around the village and in the surrounding small-acreage country, a good number of properties draw from private domestic wells. Those wells answer to no utility; the homeowner decides when, and whether, to test them.
About arsenic in the area
Arsenic occurs naturally in groundwater in parts of the Middle Rio Grande region, and it has been an ongoing issue the village is working to address. For official results on village water, read the Village of Bosque Farms annual water quality report (Consumer Confidence Report). If you're on a private well, the only way to know your own levels is a certified lab test, which we can help you arrange.
Two practical points follow from all of this. First, groundwater in the valley commonly tests hard, so scale on fixtures and water heaters is a frequent complaint. Second, the equipment that fixes hardness is not the equipment that reduces arsenic. Getting that distinction right is most of our job here. A household can easily need both, one at the main line for the whole house and one under the kitchen sink for drinking water, and we'll explain why before suggesting either.
Our approach
Village meter or private well? We note where the line enters, where the pressure tank sits, and which buildings it feeds.
About 15 minutes for hardness, TDS, pH, chlorine, iron and manganese, and sulfur, with a printed plain-English report.
Well owners get help setting up lab testing for arsenic, nitrate and bacteria. Then we recommend equipment, or nothing at all.
Three systems, three separate jobs.
A softener removes the calcium and magnesium that crust up showerheads and shorten water heater life. Details on water softeners for Bosque Farms.
Catalytic carbon reduces the chlorine taste of village water; specialty media can tackle iron or sulfur on a well. Read about whole-home filtration in Bosque Farms.
Under-sink reverse osmosis is the standard point-of-use method for reducing arsenic and nitrate. Learn about reverse osmosis in Bosque Farms.

The Village of Bosque Farms publishes an annual water quality report, also called a Consumer Confidence Report. It lists what the village tested for and what it found, and it's the right source for official numbers.
No. Softeners handle hardness and small amounts of iron. Arsenic reduction at home is typically done with reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink, confirmed by testing.
Household treatment goes after the pressure tank on the line that feeds the house. Barn and stock-tank lines can often stay untreated, which keeps salt use and equipment size down.
No. We test water and install treatment equipment. For well work, you'll want a licensed well contractor.
A 15-minute on-site test with results in real time, a plain-English report, and an honest recommendation. No pressure, no obligation.
