This Transportation, Road Use and Road Maintenance Agreement is between the Eastern New Mexico Water Utility Authority (ENMWUA) and the Board of Commissioners of Roosevelt County, New Mexico, dated March 21, 2023. The agreement pertains to the construction of a water pipeline project in Roosevelt County, specifically addressing road usage, crossings, signage, vehicles, and transportation during the project's implementation.
