Citywide water restrictions for the spring and summer will begin on April 1, prohibiting the watering of outdoor vegetation from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. during this period. According to the watering schedule, residents with even-numbered addresses can water plants on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, while those with odd-numbered addresses can do so on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. No watering is permitted on Mondays.
The Las Cruces Utilities Water Conservation Program offers a 24-hour recorded voicemail Hotline at (575) 528-4444/TTY 711 for reporting water waste. Wasteful practices include watering on incorrect days or times, water runoff or ponding on properties, and not utilizing a bucket and shut-off nozzle for washing vehicles or pavements. Callers should provide details such as the day, time, location, or address when reporting issues.
