Las Cruces – Some Las Cruces residents and businesses will experience a water outage on Thursday February 24th from 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. while Morrow Construction eliminates a water valve and installs a pipe cap. The water outage is scheduled for 3291 Del Rey Blvd. (Plaza Del Rey).
If water on your street is scheduled to be turned off, crews will post a door hanger notice a minimum of 24 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 to wash laundry until after the water becomes clear.
The discoloration should disappear within 24 hours. If it does not, residents should flush all faucets in the house or business for five minutes. If the discoloration remains, call the City of Las Cruces at 526-0500 for assistance.
