GRANTS, NM – After learning that the Fifth Street pump would be down for four to eight weeks, the City of Grants has decided to focus on a detailed cleaning of the Riverwalk area, specifically on the north end. “The arroyo from Fifth Street downstream is dry due to the pump being down,” said Mayor Erik Garcia. “In addition, some of the grass spots have dried up due to valves being down, leaks and change in administration.” Garcia added, “The challenges are there. With the pump being down for a while, we’ve decided to perform a detailed cleaning of the area. We are basically having to give up a couple months of different areas of the park being utilized to enjoy for years to come. We are asking for a little patience from the public during the cleanup.”
