Rate increases to pay for growth, rehab

A 2% increase in both water and wastewater rates will help rehabilitate El Paso Water’s aging infrastructure and expand systems for city growth. President and CEO John Balliew and staff members presented the utility’s proposed Fiscal Year 2021-22 Water/Wastewater and Stormwater budgets to the Public Service Board on Nov. 30.

Montana Vista project makes progress

It has been nearly a year since El Paso Water marked the start of the Montana Vista Wastewater Project, a project bringing first-time wastewater service to the Far East El Paso community. So far, EPWater has completed service line installations for more than half of customers in the project’s first phase, about 429 customers. In addition to the completed wastewater lines, about 440 residences have partially completed lines.

Revamped float ready for virtual parade

Juarez and his volunteers, all EPWater employees, produced another jaw-dropping float to represent the utility for this year’s virtual event. Star Wars fans will marvel at the addition of speeder bikes ridden by bike scout troopers from “The Mandalorian” web TV series.

Increasing public safety for San Lorenzo residents

The San Lorenzo Stormwater and Wastewater Improvement Project will remove an old and deteriorating stormwater pipe along San Lorenzo Drive and replace it with a newer, more durable pipe. A wastewater line that conflicts with the alignment of the stormwater system will also be replaced.
