EL PASO, Texas ( KTSM ) — About 24,000 gallons of raw sewage overflowed from a West El Paso manhole, according to El Paso Water. The overflow happened in an area south of the Sunland Park Mall in West El Paso. El Paso Water, the water utility, says it's located in a non-residential area and is being diverted into a dam away from the public. Wastewater from overflow in West El Paso 'There's no impact to our customers, there's no impact to our potable water source but we are asking people to refrain from this area just because there is active wastewater,' said Felipe Lopez, the Utility Chief Operation Officer in charge of the distribution and collections systems for El Paso Water.
