El Paso Water Alerts Residents About Fraudulent Notices Post Water Main Break

El Paso Water has issued a warning to residents in Northeast and Central El Paso regarding misleading flyers that have been distributed following a recent water main break. These deceptive notices, which falsely claim to be part of a routine safety check, are attempting to persuade residents to purchase expensive water filtration systems that may not effectively remove harmful contaminants. The utility company emphasized that many home filtration systems still require water to be boiled and do not guarantee the removal of bacteria or viruses. Residents are encouraged to report any suspicious activities to the Better Business Bureau to combat this fraudulent behavior.

Key Details: • Residents in Northeast and Central El Paso are affected by deceptive flyers. • Fraudulent notices claim to be related to routine safety checks. • Filtration systems promoted may cost up to $10,000 and may not be effective. • Report suspicious business practices to the Better Business Bureau at bbb.org/scamtracker/reportscam.
