Published 1 year, 4 months ago
Description
Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for December 6, 2024. We're starting with breaking news from northwest El Paso, where residents are facing their second water line break in the same neighborhood this week. Despite repairs earlier in the week, a crucial line broke Thursday evening in the neighborhood of Ojo de Agua and Via Descanso, near Hornedo Middle School. El Paso Water crews are working on an emergency repair, but unfortunately, the same residents affected earlier will experience another service outage until the repair is done. Two drinking water trucks will be providing water to residents who bring their own containers, stationed at Ojo de Agua and Via Descanso and High Ridge and Via Serena.
Moving on to our job market snapshot, there are several new job postings from top local employers. El Paso Live has a variety of positions available, including an Assistant Site Manager for El Paso Water Parks, a Billing Specialist, and a Convention Sales Manager. If you're looking for a new opportunity, now's the time to check out these listings.
