The Santa Fe New Mexican reports documents show that Santa Fe Mayor Alan Webber consumes way more water than the average single-family residential customer in the city he now leads.
And according to documents obtained under an open-records request, his water usage is only going up.
During certain months, the water usage at Webber’s gated home is more than eight times what the average single-family residential customer in Santa Fe consumes.
Webber and his wife, Frances Diemoz, live in a nearly 5,000-square-foot home valued at nearly $1.15 million.
The mayor says he’s taking steps to reduce his water usage.
The report comes as almost half of New Mexico is struggling with extreme drought conditions.
