Las Cruces Utilities (LCU) Board of Commissioners Chairman William Little said he has complete trust in LCU providing safe and clean drinking water for city residents. Little, a professional hydrologist, had a 40-year career in environmental investigation and regulatory compliance.
“I always drink tap water. It’s safer and tastier than any bottled water,” he said.
Sampling and analysis of the tap water produced by all New Mexico cities is conducted independently by the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) Drinking Water Bureau samplers, and the state contracts with independent laboratories certified for drinking-water analysis.
Las Cruces water is naturally full of minerals and comes from deep groundwater reserves – some of the wells are up to 1,100 feet deep. A charcoal filter on the faucet or on pitchers can remove any trace of chlorine.”
Reach Las Cruces Utilities at 575-528-3500 from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Las Cruces Utilities provides services to approximately 100,000 Las Cruces residents and businesses.
