Residents
along Court Avenue, between Armijo Street and Alameda Boulevard, will
experience a water outage between the hours of 8 p.m. Tuesday, March 17, 2020
and midnight Wednesday, March 18, 2020. Morrow Enterprises will install a water
repair clamp.
Adjacent
areas may also be affected by the outage. If water on your street is scheduled
to be turned off, City crews will post a door hanger notice a minimum of 24
hours in advance.
When
service is restored, residents may notice discolored water due to iron,
manganese and calcium deposits. Although the water is safe to drink, city
officials recommend 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 cold water and exterior faucets in their house for five
minutes. If the discoloration remains, call the Las Cruces Utilities at
526-0500 for assistance.
For information, call the Public Works
Department, Construction Management at 575/528-3098. The TTY number is
575/541-2182. For after-hour assistance, call Utility Dispatch at 575/526-0500.
