   The city of Las Vegas has declared an emergency over its water   
   supply after the Calf Canyon-Hermits Peak Fire, the largest   
   wildfire in New Mexico history, contaminated the Gallinas River.   
   The city relies solely on water from the river, which has been   
   tainted with large amounts of fire-related debris and ash,   
   according to city officials.   
      
   New Mexico Gov. Michelle Grisham said in a tweet that $2.25   
   million in state funding has been made available to ensure   
   residents receive access to safe drinking water.   
      
   The city is currently relying on reservoirs which, at the   
   current consumption rate, contain less than 50 days worth of   
   stored water, according to Las Vegas Mayor Louie Trujillo.   
      
   The large amounts of ash and turbidity in the river have   
   prevented the city from being able to pull water from it, as the   
   city's municipal water treatment facility is not able to treat   
   the contaminated water, according to the mayor.   
      
   The Hermit's Peak Fire and Calf Canyon Fire merged on April 27.   
   By May 2, the blaze had grown in size and caused evacuations in   
   multiple villages and communities in San Miguel County and Mora   
   County.   
      
   President Joe Biden issued a major disaster declarations for the   
   New Mexico counties of Colfax, Mora and San Miguel on May 4.   
      
   The fire resulted in the loss of federal, state, local, tribal   
   and private property including thousands of acres of the   
   watershed for the Gallinas River, the primary source of   
   municipal water for the city and surrounding areas, according to   
   the emergency declaration.   
      
   The Gallinas River has resulted in thousands of acres of   
   scorched forest, flooding, ash and fire debris.
