Water Outage on Spitz Street

Spitz Street residents will experience a water outage from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesday, November 6, 2024.

The outage will enable the City of Las Cruces Water department to replace a fire hydrant at the intersection of Spitz Street and Rena Mae Court.

This outage may affect residents near Tonja Court and Rena Mae Court. The hydrant replacement will occur in City of Las Cruces District 4, represented by Councilor Johana Bencomo.

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 faucets in their house for five minutes. If the discoloration remains, call the city at 575/526-0500 for assistance. The TTY phone number is 575/541-2182.
