During this current drought, Emergency Conservation Ordinance No. 41 prohibits refilling a drained pool or filling new pool after July 1, 2021 using water supplied by NMWD (including from your hose).  For more information on Emergency Water Conservation Ordinance No. 41, click Here. Customers are allowed to “top off” your pool as evaporation occurs to maintain the proper level, and we strongly recommend covering your pool when not in use (rebates are offered for pool covers).
In normal years, NMWD has “hydrant” meters that can be rented. A hydrant meter is simply a large water meter that is attached to a fire hydrant. A greater volume of water can be delivered through a hydrant meter than through most household meters. There is a rental fee for the meter in addition to the cost of water used.
