Letter from the Manager

“Make things as simple as possible, but not one bit simpler” Albert Einstein

While litigation and mediation place limits on what can be said in public, there is always a different perspective or opinion that folks have before the judge rules.   We saw this during our 18 year fight with the City of El Paso when they were trying to drill wells in the Mesilla Valley.   Protection of agriculture in general and EBID-constituent water rights in particular are the fundamental goals of EBID. Today, as was done during the El Paso litigation, there are many folks who have different agendas and motivations who spread rumors and unfounded suspicions about EBID’s motivation.

EBID’s goals are simple and have remained unchanged for decades: Maximize the long-term water supply for EBID constituents and protect the Project water supply from those that would take it away.
