Editing Corrales, New Mexico (section)

{{unsourced|section|date=June 2024}}
Unlike the surrounding communities of [[Rio Rancho]] and [[Albuquerque]], much of the Village of Corrales does not have a centralized water system for running water or a municipal sewage system, which requires many homes and businesses to each install their own wells and water pumping systems and [[Septic drain field|leach fields]] for sewage disposal. Newer homes built in Corrales are no longer allowed to install leach fields and are required to use closed septic systems with a holding tank which must be pumped regularly by sewage trucks at the homeowner's expense. The Village has an extensive system of canals which transport water from the Rio Grande to crop fields and pasturage for crop irrigation and livestock.
