El Paso Water is celebrating Infrastructure Week with other utilities nationwide by highlighting major infrastructure projects – ranging from stormwater improvement projects to new water reservoirs to water main replacements.
EPWater prioritizes smart, fiscally responsible investments to build and maintain systems that deliver on essential water service needs:
- We are building new reservoirs to meet the water needs of our growing city;
- We are replacing miles of water lines each year to keep up reliability and reduce water main breaks;
- We have installed innovative leak detection devices that help reduce water loss;
- We are building major stormwater improvement projects to reduce flooding; and
- We are expanding our odor control systems at our wastewater treatment plants to be a good neighbor.
Supporting all of these systems requires continued investment. A poll commissioned for Infrastructure Week by the Value of Water Campaign, found that an overwhelming 67 percent of Americans believe that rebuilding our infrastructure is an extremely or very important priority.
The theme of Infrastructure Week is #TimeToBuild – a social media hashtag representing the call for increased investment in infrastructure by local, state and the federal government. We invite you to join the conversation and follow EPWater's Facebook and Twitter pages.
