SUNLAND PARK, N.M. (KFOX14\/CBS4) \u2014 A neighborhood in Sunland Park was without water or had low water pressure on Tuesday for over 12 hours as the utility worked to connect a water line. <\/p>\n

According to the Camino Real Regional Utility Authority, at around 12:25 a.m., crews identified what was causing a water service interruption in Sunland Park, specifically in the area of The Sunland Park Race Track & Casino and Western Playland.<\/p>\n

At around 5:46 a.m. CRRUA shared an update, saying that crews were still working to restore water and couldn’t give people an estimate on when the work would be done and service restored.<\/p>\n

Then at around 12:55 p.m., CRRUA said it had made “significant progress” as crews are said to be “completing a water line connection.”<\/p>\n

At 3:09 p.m., CRRUA said the connection had been completed and water service had been restored to the Racetrack Drive\/ Haciendas San Gabriel Area.<\/p>\n

CRRUA also said that due to the “Proactive Safety Protocol,” the utility company issued a water boil notice, meaning people should not drink the water before letting it boil for at least a minute. CRRUA said that once the water is boiled and has cooled down, people can use it to drink, cook, and brush their teeth. <\/p>\n

CRRUA also shared that people could expect the pressure to remain low and the water to come out discolored, adding that this is because of “naturally occurring minerals in the distribution system.”<\/p>\n

CRRUA added that it recommends people let the water run until it appears clear before doing a load of laundry; however, if the discoloration continues after 24 hours, people are encouraged to call CRRUA at 575-589-1075 or, in case it’s after hours, at 575-202-7173. <\/p>\n
