February 8

As you know, or may have heard, we have had some quite odd weather & experiences here in El Paso recently. While our family was extremely fortunate, no loss of water, heat or electricity, today was our first day of experiencing an 'odd' reaction to things. This is the pot of water I gathered this morning to make myself an egg. As the water company gets everything back & running properly, even those of us that had running water the entire time can expect some not quite right conditions. As you see in the photo, the water, really, looked like milk. After sitting for a few moments it cleared & of course we could boil it to be sure. Jesse also ran the water today for 10 straight minutes to help try & clear the pipes.




Hopefully soon everything will be back to normal & everyone will have their water fixed. I believe additional help has been brought in. Not only are there main lines being repaired but individual homes had lines blow as well. This includes both military housing & standard residential.

That is some really strange looking
water. I'm glad EP is getting things
slowly back on track. I am also
thankful to God that you guys managed
without any serious setbacks. I pray
they get all back to normal soon.
Love and hugs to each and all of you.
