CLINT, Texas (KFOX14\/CBS4) \u2014 El Paso leaders celebrated the installation of wastewater infrastructure in Clint neighborhoods that had been relying on septic systems for years.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, officials with El Paso County and the Lower Valley Water District celebrated the completion of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Lower Valley Wastewater Infrastructure program with a ceremonial ribbon-cutting. <\/p>\n

This program built about 17.5 miles of sewer infrastructure, 862 service connections and two lift stations to benefit Angels Park, Athena West, Wildhorse, Hacienda Real and Valle Bonito neighborhoods. <\/p>\n

According to officials, the program was funded by a $33.3 million investment, $25.1 million coming from El Paso County ARPA funding and $8.21 million in local funding from the Lower Valley Water District.<\/p>\n

The ribbon-cutting comes more than two years after El Paso County and its partners gathered for the program\u2019s groundbreaking ceremony in July 2024.<\/p>\n

El Paso Congresswoman Veronica Escobar was also at the ribbon-cutting ceremony, advocating for the federal government to continue providing funding for underserved communities.<\/p>\n

“In the wealthiest country in the world, in the United States of America, there are still thousands and thousands of families who don’t have running water or connections, even in communities that are largely urban,” Escobar said.<\/p>\n

Escobar alluded that people can tell the federal government how and where to invest by voting in the midterm elections this November. <\/p>\n

“It ultimately is up to the American people whether they want us to invest in the War in Iran or whether they wanna us to invest in their neighborhoods and their communities,” Escobar said. <\/p>\n
