50 Years as Dixon Mayordomo



Aaron Griego has been managing the century old Acequia de la Plaza in the Dixon area for 50 years.  At 77, he still drives the ditches, watching for damage, proper flow and violations of water rights.

In the article Rio Grande Voices:  Bringing the Land to Life, we're told:  "But his critical work managing the ditch was little known outside of the parciantes. That work was recognized this year with a Pablo Romero Lifetime Mayordomo Award in June from the local ditch association and a Mayordomo of the Year award in early December from the New Mexico Acequia Association."

There's a lot more about this man in the article, as well as historical information about the acequia.
