SUNLAND PARK, N.M. (KFOX14/CBS4) — A neighborhood in Sunland Park is still under a water outage as crews work to repair a water line.
According to the Camino Real Regional Utility Authority (CRRUA), construction work broke a water line in the Anapra area, leading neighboring homes to experience low-to-no water pressure.
The outage was first reported Sunday night at around 7:25 p.m.
As of Monday morning, service has not been restored in that area.
On Friday, CRRUA reported a water line break in the same area; however, it was fixed the same day.

It is unclear whether the water line is the same or was also caused by construction, or if it’s still the same.
CRRUA stated that once service is restored, water pressure may remain low for a short time while the lines are pressurized, and people may notice temporary water discoloration caused by naturally occurring minerals.
CRRUA recommends waiting until the water runs clear before washing laundry. The discoloration should clear within 24 hours.
If it persists, CRRUA said people should run cold water for several minutes until it clears.
Those who continue to experience discolored water should contact CRRUA Customer Service at 575-589-1075 or the after-hours emergency line at 575-202-7173.
