Water Main Break Service Update
Early this morning, a very large water main broke near the intersection of Girl Scout and Transmountain, near Skyline Park in Northeast El Paso.
This break has caused thousands of customers in Northeast and parts of Central El Paso to experience low or no water service.
Repair Update
- EPWater crews have been on site overnight and continue working.
- Repairs are challenging due to:
- The large volume of water
- The complexity of the system
- Freezing temperatures
- The broken main feeds several smaller lines and caused about 15 water reservoirs to drain.
Service Restoration Timeline
- Water service restoration is expected to take up to 24 hours.
- Some customers who currently have water may experience outages later today as reservoirs are refilled.
- If you have water now, please fill containers or bathtubs as a precaution.
Important Note
- While service may return within a day, full repairs could take several days.
Water Distribution Locations

- Sue Young Park
