We're starting with some good news on the water front. El Paso Water has officially lifted the boil water notice that affected Northeast and Central areas following that major water main break that happened last Saturday night. The break had drained 15 reservoirs and impacted more than 100,000 of our neighbors. According to Gilbert Trejo, the VP of operations at El Paso Water, water pressure has been restored across the system and the water is now safe to drink. That said, some folks might still notice air in their lines or a slight chlorine smell, so if you're experiencing that, the water department is recommending you flush your household plumbing and run all your cold water taps for at least five minutes, maybe up to fifteen if the water isn't running clear yet.
The break did expose some serious vulnerabilities in our city's water infrastructure. The system dates back to the nineteen fifties, and it turns out a major water line was directly connected to multiple smaller distribution lines in a way that hasn't been designed that way in decades. But our water department is taking action. They've already started installing additional valves throughout the Northeast system to prevent future breaks from having such a widespread impact. Trejo says they'll be looking across the entire city to see if similar design problems exist elsewhere.
Moving to some transit news, the City of El Paso Mass Transit Department, Sun Metro, has been approved for federal funding. According to the Federal Register, El Paso received one point nine million dollars for purchasing replacement buses. That's part of a broader federal initiative supporting public transportation improvements across the country.
Looking ahead at the weekend, we've got some cultural happenings coming up. Bishop Mark Seitz from El Paso will be speaking at the OneLife LA event on January 24th in Los Angeles. Bishop Seitz has been a vocal advocate for immigrant dignity and is being recognized for his work on migration issues at the national level.
On the local government side, our City Plan Commission and Financial Oversight and Audit Committee held meetings yesterday, continuing discussions on planning initiatives and city finances that affect our daily lives here in El Paso.
As we head into the weekend, stay hydrated with that safe drinking water, and if you're still seeing any cloudiness from your taps, keep running them. We'll continue to monitor the water situation for you.
