City crews are out busily handling some pothole damage repair on East Pueblo Drive which have been a major issue for several years. The overall goal is the City will continue to work to secure funding for the eventual repaving of the entire roadway.

We are experiencing a widespread outage affecting the West Side of the city attributed to a malfunction valve at Northern New Mexico College. We hope to have service restored very soon to the residents.

🚒 Exciting News from the Española Fire Department! 🚒

We're thrilled to announce that our Fire Department has made significant progress. Our ISO (Insurance Services Office) rating has improved from 5 to 4, thanks to the dedication and hard work of our entire team. 🌟

ISO evaluates various factors such as training hours, personnel, apparatus, equipment, and city water supply. While we aimed for a rating of 3, this is a significant step in the right direction. 🔥

So, what does this mean for you? Starting Dec 1st, you're eligible for lower home or commercial insurance rates. Reach out to your insurance provider on that date to see how much you can save. 💰

We want to express our gratitude to our incredible department for their efforts in lowering the city's ISO rating. Teamwork makes the dream work! 🙌👨‍🚒👩‍🚒
