On November 25, 2013 the USDA-Rural Development presented LRGPWWA with a certificate of completion for the La Mesa Well Project. The La Mesa Well Project was initiated by the La Mesa MDWCA with the engineering firm Molzen Corbin Associates. It added a well and storage tank up on the west mesa with distribution pipeline looping back to the existing system. The construction contract was awarded to Burn Construction, and construction began in mid-August 2012 and was completed September 2013 including some water pipeline stub-outs in Mesquite that were added to the project. Below is a slide show of the ceremony.
