Contamination score

Higher = more contaminated vs. other cities.

No specific documented contamination incident was found for Abiquiu itself. New Mexico as a whole has among the highest naturally occurring arsenic and uranium levels in groundwater in the country, with small rural communities across the state, particularly those relying on groundwater wells, struggling to deliver water free of these contaminants — a genuine regional risk factor even without a local finding.
