ALAMOGORDO DOMESTIC WATER SYSTEM Lead Service Line Inventory
About This Water System
Alamogordo Domestic Water System serves approximately 35,301 people in New Mexico. The system draws from surface water sources.
Lead Service Line Inventory Status
As of now, no lead service line inventory data is publicly available for this water system. This does not mean there are no lead lines—it means the system has not yet published the results of its inventory work, or the inventory has not been completed.
Federal law requires all water systems to complete a lead service line inventory by October 2024. If your system has not yet published its inventory, contact them directly to ask about the timeline and findings.
What You Should Know
Lead service lines are pipes that connect the water main (in the street) to your home. Lead can leach into your water, especially if the water is corrosive or if lines are disturbed during repairs.
If you live in an older home (built before the 1980s), your property is more likely to have a lead service line. Even if the utility's inventory says "unknown" for your address, you can request a water test or have a plumber inspect the line at the meter or where it enters your home.
Testing is free or low-cost in many cases. Contact your local health department or ask your utility for resources.
Next Steps for Residents
- Contact Alamogordo Domestic Water System to ask when the lead service line inventory will be available and whether your address has been identified as having a lead line.
- Request a free water test from your utility or local health department to check for lead in your tap water.
- If you're concerned about your child's exposure, contact your pediatrician or the CDC for guidance on testing and prevention.
- Consult a licensed plumber if you want to know whether your service line is lead before the utility publishes its inventory.
