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.
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.
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.

Sunny, with a high of 102 and low of 72 degrees. Sunny during the morning, partly cloudy during the afternoon and evening, clear overnight.
the long term drought conditions serve to underline the importance of long-term vision and planning to meet future water needs.
any water distribution built with schedule 20 pvc piping, has been "a public utility emergency" since it was constructed. the fact that it lasted as long as it has is incredible.
ultimately the price for poor management practices will be equally borne by every property owner in that community - except those who have private wells, i suppose. but even those folks will have a smaller pool of prospective buyers....makes it sound kinda like socialism doesn't it?
I hope Dr. Hernandez is a guest speaker at an upcoming meeting of the Mayor's Youth Advisory Commission. She has so much wisdom and experience to pass on to younger generations.
It's the product of living in a lowly bubble: an immature, undeveloped writing style that has no insight or reasonable conclusion. Those PhD's from Watsamatta U in New Mexico are only a union card for activists to rally 'round and a far cry from what $200k a year should buy.
Your excellence at writing a reply show that you are an intelligent and urbane fellow. Whatever, get me my fries bro.
The "mayor" has an office? Everyone sees straight through your P.R. circus. Your lap dog , Old McDonald, is just as half-blind and limited as the rest of us poor ******** scrambling in the real world.
Jones, I hope you get some help with your anger management issues soon.
Obviously you have never met nor engaged with the mayor. She works tirelessly full file research, engaging with constituents and legislators at the state and federal level and with policy experts from DC to New Mexico to learn and better serve her constituency.
I say bring back the Piggly Wiggly.
