Mission Statement:
The City of Alamogordo is a Municipal Corporation that exists solely for the purpose of providing the best possible services to our customers, the citizens of Alamogordo. We are committed to providing these services with honesty, integrity, compassion, fairness, and a commitment to excellence while complying with the Utility Billing Ordinance.
We are committed to the long term financial stability and responsible growth of the City and all decisions will be driven by our comitment to provide the best service possible in a financial sound and responsible manner given the economic realities facing the City.
The Utility Billing Customer Service Department compiles meter readings based on meters read, billing of water, sewer, and garbage collection, issues work orders for rechecks of meters, turn on and off of services, monitors and collects on delinquent accounts, and provides customer service with the ability to serve the customer in an appropriate manner.
Location & Hours:
We are located inside the City Hall Building at 1376 East Ninth Street. As you walk in the front door the Utility Billing Customer Service Department is located to the right.
The office hours are Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. The office is also open during the lunch hour for your convenience.
Bills are due and payable twenty-five (25) days from the billing date and are considered delinquent on the following day. Late fees are assessed to the account if payment is not received by the due date.
Delinquent notices are mailed to the customer advising them of the past due amount. The customer is requested to pay the bill at this time or the services will be disconnected and a delinquency processing fee will be added to the account. In order for the services to be reinstated, the past due amount plus the delinquency processing fee must be paid.

Any utility customer who feel that a water meter is not registering accurately may apply to have his or her water meter tested. The written request must be submitted to the Utility Billing Customer Service Department and must be accompanied by a testing fee. The testing fee wil be established by the Utility Billing Customer Service Department based on the cost of the current certified laboratory fee for the meter size being tested.
Upon request, the water meter will be tested by a certified laboratory. If the meter registers more than five (5) percent high, the City will replace the meter, refund the meter testing fee, and adjust the contested monthly water bill if appropriate. If the meter is found to be accurate within five (5) percent, or if the meter is slow, the City shall reinstall a meter and no refund of the meter testing will be made.
