Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Thursday, January 15. We start with the big story shaking our city, the ongoing water crisis from that massive 36-inch main break in Northeast El Paso late Saturday. Over 100,000 of us felt the impact, with boil water notices still up in many spots near Transmountain Campus and surrounding neighborhoods. EP Water crews drained 15 reservoirs and set up distribution stations along Montana Avenue and Joe Battle Boulevard, but homes flooded and daily routines ground to a halt, forcing more than a dozen EPISD schools closed Monday. Yesterday at 8:30 a.m., amid this chaos, the Public Service Board approved a ten dollar average hike in our water bills for next year, passing five to two despite Mayor Renard Johnson voting no. Tensions boiled over when police removed a frustrated resident during public comments at the meeting. Another break hit Westway, closing Deanna Davenport Elementary. Right now, expect disruptions to outdoor plans, but crews aim for normalcy soon. Todays weather stays chilly with highs near 50 degrees under partly cloudy skies, no major storms to compound things, and a similar outlook tomorrow.

Shifting to city updates, our County Commissioners Court meets this morning at nine at the Enrique Moreno Courthouse on East San Antonio, tackling key issues live with some joining by video. In public safety, social media captured alleged ICE activity yesterday at a home construction site near Eastlake Boulevard and Horizon Mesa in Horizon City, where agents confronted workers and a truck crashed amid state troopers, part of rising sightings at Borderland sites.

On a brighter note, EPCCs Transmountain Campus reopens at noon today after water woes. Job market stays steady with construction booming despite ICE buzz, averaging around 500 openings monthly in trades. Real estate sees median home prices holding at about 280,000 dollars, up slightly near Sun Bowl. New business wise, Guns Down Gloves Up boxing program expands fights against violence downtown.

Looking ahead, mark January 19 for Martin Luther King Jr. Day events proclaimed by county leaders, with community gatherings at local parks. Quick school shoutout: EPISD teams notched wins in recent hoops despite closures. And for feel-good, locals lit up social media with epic reactions to that BTS throwback at Sun Bowl, uniting us in nostalgia.

In the past 24 hours, no major crimes reported, just routine patrols keeping our streets safe.
