Residents of the city who typically visit the Cashiering Program for their financial transactions will need to mark their calendars for a temporary schedule change. According to the City of Las Cruces, the Cashiering Program will temporarily cease operations for one day on Thursday, March 13, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The closure is due to undisclosed reasons, and staff will not be available to assist customers with in-person payments during this time. Normally housed within the Permits and Business Registration office, the employees assigned will be out of reach for the public seeking their services.
The city's statement notes that the Cashiering Program, which currently operates from the Permits and Business Registration office, will be inaccessible on this day. However, full operations are set to resume on the following day, at a new location, Suite 1400 in the East wing of City Hall, where services will continue during the usual business hours. Operating in City Hall's Suite 1400, staff are expected to be back to their regular duties on Friday, March 14.
For residents needing to make payments during the brief hiatus, the city has outlined several alternative options. They can deposit payments in the drop-box situated between City Hall and the Thomas Branigan Memorial Library after hours. Another convenient option is to pay by phone, available around the clock. Interested parties can dial (575) 541-2111 and press 4, with the service accepting E-check, Visa, MasterCard, and Discover Cards.
Additionally, the online realm offers further avenues for settling utility bills without the need for in-person interaction. The city's announcement on their website directs users to UtilityHawk for making payments or setting up an auto-draft. For those preferring the convenience of retail locations, Walmart stores in Las Cruces afford the option to pay with cash, though a modest service fee of $1 applies. One-time payments can also be conducted via PaymentUS for those who prefer to manage their transactions online at their leisure.
