OPINION
CASTILLO, Judge.
{1} This case presents us with procedural and substantive issues regarding the validity of a 1999 Santa Fe ordinance as it relates to the drilling of domestic wells within the city limits. On cross-motions for summary judgment, the district court determined, as a matter of law, that the City of Santa Fe (City) did not have the authority to prohibit the drilling of wells within the city’s corporate limits. We hold that the City did have the authority to prohibit domestic wells within the city limits; therefore, we reverse the district court.
