El Paso Water Acquires Cement Lake Property Without Inspecting Failing Dam

El Paso Water recently purchased a 300-acre site in the Upper Valley, known as Cement Lake, for open space preservation. However, the utility did not conduct a structural assessment of a 117-year-old dam on the property, which has now been identified as at risk of breaching. The dam, which has not been inspected since 1996, is currently being drained to prevent potential flooding. Nearby businesses, including Rosa’s Cantina, have temporarily closed due to safety concerns. The property was acquired from TxDOT for $4 million and an additional property valued at $7.5 million. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality noted that the dam is categorized as low-hazard, meaning its failure would likely cause minor property damage rather than loss of life.
