Galisteo Mutual Domestic Water Consumers Association
The non-profit Galisteo MDWCA manages the historic village water delivery system. Before its formation in 1961, water had been hauled up from Galisteo Creek in wagons. A donation by resident Phil McKee provided a well and pump house, and, with work by the people of Galisteo, the water system was completed early in 1962. As of August 2025, the Galisteo MDWCA system serves 76 members with 96 hookups.
The Galisteo MDWCA meets at the Galisteo Community Center as needed. The annual meeting, when board members are elected, is usually the third Thursday in March.
