Turning Service On
If you are confident that no water has been left on and the home is not a HUD,Foreclosed home, or Short Sale-you can sign a Release to Turn Water On Form and send or fax it to us with your application. Then no one needs to be present at the residence. This form releases the City of Rio Rancho from all responsibility for any damage done by running water. If you want to be present when the water is connected or the home is a HUD, Foreclosed, or Short Sale, you can fill out a Home Reconnect Form to specify the 4-hour window that you will be at the residence for turn on.
