Notice to homeowners and businesses owners within the city of Alamogordo. The Outdoor Watering Schedule for the summer went into effect, Thursday, May 1, 2025.
Help Alamogordo conserve our precious drinking water and follow the schedule.
All watering should take place before 9 am and after 6 pm. Please note that watering is not permitted on Mondays.
By ordinance the normal watering schedule from May 1st through November 1st each year allows us to water as follows:
Odd numbered addresses (street number ends in 1,3,5,7,9) may only water on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
Even numbered addresses (street number ends in 0,2,4,6,8) may only water on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
All outdoor watering must take place before 9 a.m. and after 6 p.m. This conserves water by reducing evaporation.
Watering is not permitted on Mondays.
Tier Rate Billing
This is the regular watering schedule as set forth in the city's code of ordinances, section 28-03-033. Tier rate billing is still in effect. You will be billed based on your consumption. Wasting water is prohibited.
Water Rationing
Residents should be aware that the ordinance contains rationing provisions that become stricter if the city's water capacities approach dangerously low levels. Should water rationing become necessary, and other conservation methods become required, the city will inform residents through public announcements, mailings, or other means.
