The following shared on behalf of Waste Management:

Due to extensive rainfall in the area, access to the landfill tipping area is currently impacted by wet and unsafe conditions.
For the safety of our customers, employees, and equipment, we are currently unable to safely allow public vehicles access to the tipping area. We are, however, allowing most municipal and commercial vehicles that provide curbside and business waste collection services to our local communities to continue accessing the landfill.
At this time, a tow pin is required for commercial vehicles, as conditions may require us to assist by towing vehicles into and out of the tipping area.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work diligently to improve site conditions and restore safe, normal access as soon as possible.
Traffic restrictions may change as conditions improve. Please contact the San Juan Landfill Scale House at 505-386-5005 prior to arrival to confirm the current access restrictions and determine whether your vehicle can be accommodated.
Thank you for your continued patience and cooperation as we work to keep our customers, employees, and community safe.

There are moderate decreases in all three rivers. None are below flood stage, but will continue to recede. We believe that the crest has passed on all rivers, but it will take 24-48 hours for floodwaters to recede.
Do not reenter evacuated areas. Hazards exist in the water and with utilities.
Areas with power outages will not be restored until crews can check the infrastructure.

McGee Park is open for sheltering. Cow House/4 Corners Stockyard is open to shelter livestock. Pets can be housed at McGee Park.

See the list of agencies here: http://sanjuancollege.edu/floodrecoveryresources
Please note: FEMA is NOT at the MARC at this time.

ASSESSMENTS:
Local crews are continuing damage assessments. So far, more than 600 properties have been surveyed. FEMA is also doing preliminary assessments.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT ASSESSMENTS: This initial assessment is only the first. It is going to support the request for an emergency declaration; there will be numerous additional assessments for different purposes. Additionally, FEMA is on the ground and doing additional assessments as well. Homeowners and business owners should document damages and losses.
Businesses should be ready to report that information to be part of the disaster declaration; we will have information on how to report that soon.

SAFETY WARNING:
Do not return to evacuated areas. With current hazmat concerns and flood inundation, dangerous conditions exist.

SHELTER STATUS:
McGee Park's Red Cross Shelter remains OPEN and will continue sheltering for the time being. Pets are accepted at the shelter as long as they are crated.

UTILITY UPDATE:
Sewer systems
All sewer systems in San Juan County are online. Lift stations serving Kirtland and Aztec are offline due to power outages. Aztec is requesting conservation to save the strain on that system.
Power/electricity
FEUS will work to restore power. Crews will check infrastructure before restoring power. Power will only be restored to the customer’s breaker box. A qualified electrician will need to check residential systems.
