While the City's goal is to restore water services as quickly as possible, it must be done safely. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

What Do I Do?

We recommend customers make any necessary precautions to protect their water system by limiting their water use. If you have any questions please contact the Utilities Department at 575-439-4244 for assistance.

When the Water Comes Back On:

There will likely be air in your water service piping when the water is turned back on. It is a good idea to run water from a faucet that does not have an aerator screen immediately following a water outage. Bathtubs and hosed bibs are good candidates. Open faucets slowly to allow the air to escape. Air will make a spurting or hissing sound as it escapes through the faucet. Once the water is flowing, allow the faucet to run for a minute or two. The water may be cloudy at first due to air in the water or particles that dislodged as the pipes filled with water. This should clear fairly quickly. If water is cloudy throughout the house and it does not clear after allowing the water to run for several minutes, contact the Utilities Department at 575-439-4244 for assistance.

If kitchen or bathroom faucets do not perform normally following a water outage it may be necessary to remove the aerator screen. Typically the aerator can simply be unscrewed from the faucet. Inspect the screen for small particles and rinse away any you find. Reinstall the aerator and test performance of the faucet again. If you experience difficulties such as low pressure throughout the house following a water outage call the Utilities Department at 575-439-4244 for assistance.

How Long Does it Take to Repair a Water Service Line?

Unfortunately, every Water Service Line is different. While a temporary fix may take as little as a few hours, completely repairing the Water Service Line may take days or even weeks. It may require the repaving of roads or the addition of soil to stabilize the area.
