In an interview with KTSM, Christina Montoya from El Paso Water says that the letter being sent out are NOT real. Any notice from El Paso Water will have their official logo, address & telephone numbers & all employees from El Paso Water will have their official uniform & an official employee badge.

Christina Montoya also goes on to state that if anyone has a question about the notice, the safest thing to do is call El Paso Water at 915-594-5733 to ask questions or visit www.epwater.org.

So the next time you see something that looks weird or fake, it probably is.
