More than 100,000 El Paso residents left with little to no water after main break

The response from local officials, including the issuance of a boil water notice and the establishment of distribution centers, reflects a proactive approach to managing the crisis. However, the long-term implications for public health and trust in municipal services could be substantial if such incidents become more frequent.
