A four-hour water outage on Valley Drive from Hadley Avenue to Picacho Avenue is scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. Monday, Dec. 10. Adjacent areas also may be affected by the outage.
Once service is restored, water could be discolored due to iron, manganese and calcium deposits. Although the water is safe to drink, City officials recommend waiting to wash laundry until after the water becomes clear.
The discoloration should disappear within 24 hours. If it does not, flush all faucets for five minutes. If the discoloration remains, call Las Cruces Utilities at 526-0500 for assistance.
