Welcome
The
City of Las Cruces Water Conservation Program comes
to life as a way to inform our residents of practical water
conservation measures that will aide in maintaining the sustainability
of our water supplies for future generations. This website
contains information to
help you reduce your water consumption without sacrificing your water
needs.

By 2006 the City provided potable water to 3,971 more accounts estimated increase of 9,500 with less total demands then in 2003 that still remains one of the City's highest diversion years in the past 5 years. One may examine closer 2004 a 5% rate increase was implemented with the COS. 2005 remained a dry very hot year, and in 2006 the flooding monsoons had returned along with the continued arrival of new residents. Conservation starts in our own backyards.
