El Paso Water Utilities dedicated the Kay Bailey Hutchison Desalination Plant on Wednesday, Aug. 8, 2007. It is a joint project of El Paso Water Utilities and the U.S. Army/Fort Bliss to create a new supply of water by treating a previously unusable resource – brackish (salty) groundwater from the Hueco Bolson Aquifer.
