Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Friday, November seventh. We start our day under partly cloudy skies with temperatures climbing to the mid seventies, a gentle breeze in the afternoon, and no rain expected. These mild conditions should make for a perfect Friday to get outdoors or enjoy local events around town.

We have several major developments this morning. El Paso Water officials confirm they detected E. coli in a raw groundwater sample from a well in East El Paso, but they assure us the water that reaches our taps remains safe, as this well is not currently in the city’s supply system. Residents are being reassured, but if you have specific concerns, El Paso Water customer service is open for questions.

City Hall has been bustling with activity this week as the City Council moved to purchase properties at 311 and 315 West Overland Avenue for close to nine hundred thousand dollars, paving the way for downtown expansion planning. Changes are also happening for homeowners, as council directed staff to extend payment periods for weed abatement fines, giving property owners more time before liens are placed on their properties. In a decision sure to excite downtown shoppers, city leaders announced they’ll offer free parking north of I-10 on November twenty-second for WinterFest, so mark your calendars.

WinterFest itself is set to light up San Jacinto Plaza starting next weekend, signaling the arrival of the holiday season with music, food, and festive lights. On the business front, L and F Distributors just cut the ribbon on a massive new two hundred twenty-five thousand-square-foot warehouse, promising new jobs and expanded distribution capacity in the region.

The job market brings mostly steady, if cautious, news. Openings have risen about three percent over October, driven by logistics and warehouse work with seasonal boosts in retail. Meanwhile, the real estate market continues to show modest growth, with home prices in the city averaging around two hundred sixty thousand dollars and an uptick in short-term rental activity discussed at this week’s council meeting. Officials highlighted safety and community concerns as part of ongoing regulation updates.

In sports, UTEP’s men’s basketball team came off a big win at home this week and returns to the Don Haskins Center tomorrow night. On the high school scene, Franklin High clinched their playoff football bid, earning a spot in next week’s city semifinals. Over at the San Jacinto Adult Learning Center, local students celebrated a milestone as more than a hundred adults received English proficiency certificates, marking a positive step for community education.

For community events, the Paso del Norte Health Foundation terrace dedication yesterday at UTEP brought together leaders and residents to highlight ongoing investments in public health and wellness. And a big thank you goes out to our local bikers who gathered at Scenic Drive this past weekend for a charity ride that raised over fifteen thousand dollars for area food banks.

We turn now to public safety. El Paso Police responded to a burglary call late last night near Montana Avenue, making two arrests without incident. No injuries were reported. Authorities remind everyone to keep doors locked and valuables out of sight. There are no major traffic disruptions or emergencies reported this morning.

As we head into the weekend, let’s celebrate one of our own—Kaitlyn Bradham, born and raised here in El Paso, recently landed her first professional dance contract after years of dedication, inspiring many local youth to follow their dreams.
