Jacobs to lead $200 million infrastructure program supporting El Paso regional growth
(UI) - Jacobs has been selected by El Paso Water to provide program management and owner’s representative services for its large-scale Utility Infrastructure Development Program that will support regional growth near El Paso International Airport and Fort Bliss.
The multi-phase initiative will deliver new water, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure across approximately 4,500 acres to meet increasing demand in one of the fastest-growing areas of the city. El Paso Water estimates the overall program will cost about $200 million.
As program manager, Jacobs will guide planning, design oversight, procurement strategies and construction coordination for a suite of improvements that aim to expand utility capacity, enhance system resilience, and support long-term development in the region. The utility said the partnership reflects its focus on building reliable, sustainable infrastructure to serve future residents and businesses.
“This program is a catalyst for regional growth,” said Jacobs Executive Vice President Eva Wood. “Together with El Paso Water, we’re powering the city’s future and building resilient systems that will serve the community for generations.”
El Paso Water Vice President of Operations and Technical Services Gilbert Trejo said Jacobs’ track record gives the utility confidence the program will deliver the needed upgrades. The improvements are also expected to support local workforce development and economic activity.
Jacobs, ranked No. 1 in Sewer & Waste and No. 2 in Program Management by Engineering News-Record, has delivered large-scale water and wastewater programs globally, including southern California’s Pure Water Project Las Virgenes–Triunfo, London’s Thames Tideway Tunnel, and New Zealand’s Central Interceptor.
