Jacobs will lead program planning and delivery of water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure improvements to serve new development on approximately 4,500 acres of land to meet growing demand in El Paso, Texas. The multi-phase initiative will upgrade water, wastewater, and stormwater systems and is projected to cost approximately $200 million.

"Together with El Paso Water, we're powering the city's future, creating jobs, expanding critical infrastructure, and building resilient and sustainable systems that will serve the community for generations."

"Their expertise and proven track record make them a trusted partner in achieving our community's long-term sustainability goals."

While supporting regional growth, the upgrades will also enhance water reliability and wastewater capacity and support local workforce development.
