How El Paso Water has prepared for drought

It’s clear.
El Paso is in the middle of a long-term river drought.
Our river supply is dependent on Elephant Butte Reservoir.
After years of investment and careful planning, our utility has built an innovative portfolio of water resources, including desalination, water reuse and conservation.
And then there’s the Kay Bailey Hutchison Desalination Plant.
In its 11 years of operation, the world’s largest inland desalination plant has proven its worth.
In our great city, conservation is a way of life.
For more than 25 years, El Paso Water has prioritized water conservation.
El Paso Water knows that our water supply grows stronger when diversified.
Because of years of investment and responsibly managing our water sources, we are prepared to handle Mother Nature’s occasional challenges.
