Ooky Spooky Spider
Looking for an ooky spooky art project for the kiddos this weekend? Spiders may cause you to jump or reach for a chancla, but most are harmless. Spiders are nature’s pest control, and they have some pretty neat tricks up their eight sleeves. They produce silk, which is 98% water, to capture prey and water. Some spiders get the water they need by changing their silk to collect water from the air. Adaptations like this are important to surviving in the desert. The water we drink doesn’t come from a web; it comes from the Rio Grande River and underground, but there are lots of ways that we can be water-wise too. Keep your shower under 5 minutes, and turn off the faucet when brushing your teeth. Materials: Pipe cleaners Scissors Small poms Googly eyes Hot glue gun (or craft glue) 1. Choose 5 lengths of pipe cleaner, 1 small pom-pom, and 1 large pom-pom. 2. Bend 1 pipe cleaner in half, and twist the other 4 around it to create legs. 3. Hot-glue: the pom-poms to the center pipe-cleaner, and add eyes 4. Bend legs to allow the spider to stand

Big water news ‼️
El Paso needs better stormwater drainage. That's a fact.
That's why I'm proud to have secured federal funding that will help fund an El Paso Water basin in the far east that will hold 11 billion gallons of water after heavy rains.
Engineers expect this to help ease flooding in the area, including the flooding on I-10. READ MORE: http://bit.ly/3XNs7nD

El Paso Water is setting the bar for implementing water reuse projects to achieve sustainability and modernize our nation’s infrastructure!
At a news conference last week, El Paso Water was recognized as an international water reuse leader with the announcement of $20 million in Bureau of Reclamation funding for its innovative facility, the Advanced Water Purification Facility, which will be one of the first direct-to-distribution potable reuse projects of its kind. Expected to produce up to 10 million gallons per day, the facility is considered a game changer in the nation’s efforts to secure safe and reliable water supplies for ratepayers throughout the West and nationwide.
Carollo assisted El Paso Water in securing the grant funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which allocated $8.3 billion for Bureau of Reclamation water infrastructure projects. The funding announced is part of the $1 billion in WaterSMART Water Recycling and Reuse grants program.

So exciting to join U.S. Department of the Interior and El Paso Water to celebrate $20 million in federal funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
As the only federal representative in the region to vote for this bill, I'm thrilled to continue to see El Paso receive such important investments.
The funding will be for a facility to treat wastewater for potable reuse and then convey it directly to the city’s distribution system, making it the first large-scale, direct-to-distribution potable reuse project of its kind in the United States.
