A-Mountain Construction, under contract with the City of Las Cruces, will be connecting a new water line to the existing water system. This water outage will be in City Council District 3.
Adjacent areas also may be affected. If water on your street is scheduled to be turned off, crews will post a door-hanger notice a minimum of 48 hours in advance.
Once service is restored, residents may notice discolored water due to iron, manganese and calcium deposits. Although the water is safe to drink, the City recommends waiting for the water to become clear before washing laundry.
The discoloration should disappear within 24 hours. If it does not, residents should flush all faucets in their residence or business for five minutes.
If the discoloration remains, call the City of Las Cruces at (575) 526-0500 for assistance. For after-hours assistance, call Utility Dispatch at (575) 526-0500.
