N.M. Stat. § 73-1-14
[Inclusion of additional lands after extension of basin
boundaries.]
Where any artesian conservancy district has heretofore been formed, and due to the
extension of the original boundaries of the artesian basin by order of the state engineer,
the boundaries of the artesian conservancy district no longer include all lands overlying
such artesian basin and the board of directors of such district shall determine by
resolution that it is desirable that such lands, as are irrigated and within the boundaries
of the said artesian basin as set by order of the state engineer effective January 31,
1950, shall be included in and subject to the district, such conservancy district may file a
petition in the district court of the county wherein said district was originally formed in
the same proceeding, praying that the decree providing for the formation of said district
be amended so as to include such lands; provided, however, the petition shall be
accompanied by a certificate of the state engineer, describing the designated
boundaries of the said artesian basin.
