RESCHEDULED: East Madrid Avenue Water outage

As of 11:32 a.m. on 3/11/25 This work has been marked as rescheduled. Check this section for updates when a new date is announced.

Original message:
Residents in the area of East Madrid Avenue from Mesquite Street to Solano Drive will experience a water outage from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Wednesday March 12, 2025. Renegade Construction will be connecting a new water line to the existing water system.

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 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.

This water outage is in City Council District No.1.
