Home Our Water Stormwater Sandbags

Sandbags

The Stormwater Operations Center, located at 4801 Fred Wilson Ave., will remain open throughout the year.

El Paso Water encourages residential customers who live in areas prone to flooding to have sandbags on hand before most heavy rain begins.

Sandbags are free to residential customers for flood-control purposes only. The limit is 10 sandbags per visit. You will need to show a Texas ID or an El Paso Water bill to get sandbags. Persons who cannot lift heavy items should be accompanied by someone who can assist with loading and unloading the bags. Sandbags weigh approximately 40-50 pounds each.
