A drainage analysis of the City that is required by FEMA to Certify the levees that provide protection to the City
Its purpose is to determine the effects of the Rio Grande at different stages (high and low) on the levee and the interior drainage systems
It is used to determine flood risk in urban areas
In 2009, El Paso Water and El Paso County Texas entered into an Interlocal Agreement as a collaborative effort to develop regional Stormwater Planning
In 2018, El Paso County had an interest in studying and developing a masterplan for the Montana Sector of the county that was not included in the original El Paso County Masterplan
Both El Paso Water and El Paso County had also identified a need to complete a countywide Interior Drainage Study in order to certify levees within the county limits
