Water emergency prompts early release for Los Lunas High School students

LOS LUNAS, N.M. — A water emergency in an area of Los Lunas prompted Los Lunas High School to dismiss students early Wednesday.

According to Los Lunas Schools, the district dismissed students at the high school at 11:45 a.m. Wednesday. Before releasing them, the school provided lunch for students and offered bus service to everyone who usually rides the bus.

“The safety and well-being of our students is our top priority, and are taking the necessary steps to address this issue promptly. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this time,” a letter to parents read.

KOB 4 learned a contractor was doing work near Sun Ranch Village and Main Street when they hit the water line. Neighborhoods around the school experienced low water levels before crews repaired the water main break around 8 p.m.

The Village of Los Lunas reported a water emergency disrupting or impacting service in the Huning Ranch, Desert Sky and Fiesta Subdivisions and from the area of Los Cerritos Road to Sundance Road.

According to the village, they sent crews to the scene to assess the situation and come up with a solution. Police say the intersection of Sun Ranch Village Road and north Sun Ranch Village Loop was closed due to the water emergency.

If you have any questions or concerns, the village asks you to call Water Division Supervisor Ray Vigil Jr. at 505-363-0847.
