REDD ROAD PROJECT TO AFFECT WATER SERVICE Residents Might Be Without Water or Experience Low Water Pressure NEWS RELEASE Contact: Karol Parker, Public Affairs Officer 915-594-5692 (office), e-mail: kparker@epwu.org Date: January 23, 2008 (El Paso) — Some West Side residents may experience water service problems late Friday night and early Saturday morning. Service will be shut down temporarily while El Paso Water Utilities installs a new 16-inch waterline. On Jan. 25 at approximately 11 p.m., the contractor will begin tying the pipeline into the distribution system. The existing pipeline will be shutdown between the High Ridge Road and Desert Canyon Drive intersections of Redd Road. A number of residents will be without water service until the work is completed at 4 a.m. on Jan. 26. Other residents will experience low water pressure during the shutdown. The affected streets are indicated on the attached map. The replacement of the Redd Road waterline is part of a city-wide, multi-year program to prevent breaks by upgrading water distribution pipelines. El Paso Water Utilities will spend $16.3 million dollars for water system rehabilitation projects in fiscal year 2007-08. Updated map of affected areas
