The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $2,000,000 Project Grant under the Water Recycling and Desalination Construction Programs (CFDA 15.504) to the El Paso Water Utilities Public Service Board, a U.S. local government entity. The grant will support a feasibility study, alternatives analysis, preliminary design, environmental impact studies, and compliance analysis for a water reuse project in El Paso, Texas. The project aims to: 1) meet growing water demand in West El Paso, 2) adjust groundwater use to limit impact on the Rio Grande, and 3) provide relief to the Frontera Force Main sewer pipeline to reduce the risk of wastewater spills into the Rio Grande. The project planning phase will begin in November 2023 and conclude by November 2025, with design and construction to follow for an estimated completion in 2029.
