A Message from our Chairman John Chaney

7/2008
Southern Sandoval County Arroyo Flood Control Authority (SSCAFCA) is pleased to announce the construction of the Sunset Pond and Aldaba Storm Drain Project, a component of the Black Arroyo Watershed Management Plan. Salls Brothers Construction Inc. was awarded the bid to construct the $2,600,000 project. SSCAFCA has completed all design work, right-of-way acquisition, and coordination with underground utilities. The project is anticipated to be complete by December 2008.

This location was selected in the upper portion of the watershed to protect downstream lands from flooding. In addition, a storm drain that will flow into the Sunset pond will be constructed in Aldaba Circle to prevent roadway erosion as experienced during the 2006 monsoon season.  The project design also incorporates recreational and aesthetic amenities. This project is financed by funds approved in the bond election of 2006.

Please be patient as we construct this very important flood protection facility.  The design plans can be reviewed at the SSCAFCA office and any questions answered by calling SSCAFCA at 892-RAIN (7246).

5/2007
We are working diligently to clean out all SSCAFCA owned arroyos and drainage ways. This endeavor is to eliminate any chance of debris build up that could potentially cause flooding during the summer monsoon season. Our desire is to prevent problems rather than react to problems. Our goal is to ensure protection of your family and property from flooding. Our plan is to complete this task as quickly as possible.

There is a possibility that you might see heavy equipment in your neighborhood, working in and around the arroyos. Please be patient of our efforts and be assured that SSCAFCA is protecting you and your property.

SSCAFCA is committed to providing flood control to ensure the health, safety and welfare for all citizens of our jurisdiction, which includes portions of southern Sandoval County , the western portion of the Town of Bernalillo , the Village of Corrales and the City of Rio Rancho . We take our responsibility seriously and we thank you for your support.
