Water reaches the Borderland for 2022 irrigation season
New Mexico -- The release of water has reached the Borderland for the 2022 irrigation season.
Video captured from around 9 Friday morning near Fairacres road shows our area's water arrival.
There was an urgent clean-up following last year's rainstorm in El Paso preceding the release. The Frontera Wastewater Emergency forced El Paso Water to divert billions of gallons in sewage into the Rio Grande due to burst pipelines.
El Paso Water announced the Rio Grande riverbed clean-up was completed on May 6.
