U.S. Bureau of Reclamation selects Jacobs to design and build critical New Mexico water project

Jacobs was selected by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation to design and build the San Juan Lateral Water Treatment Plant in northwest New Mexico. At a cost of $267 million, the plant is the largest and most important component of the Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project. Prior to the project’s initiation, more than 40 percent of the Navajo Nation households relied on hauling water to meet their daily needs, and to this day the Navajo Nation estimates that over a third of Navajo Nation households rely on hauling water to meet their daily needs. When completed, the project will provide water supplies to approximately 250,000 people in 43 Navajo chapters.
