Eagle Pass Water Works and Sewer System General Manager Jorge Barrera warns all citizens to beware of an ongoing fraudulent scam by unknown individuals who are telephoning residents and telling them that they are from the local Water Works System and advising them that they are behind in their payments and that unless they make a payment by telephone their services will be cut off.

Eagle Pass Water Works Manager Jorge Barrera advises all citizens that the local Water Works System does not make telephone calls after 5 P.M. and does not take payments by telephone after 5 P.M.

Barrera advises citizens to not believe these individuals, take their telephone numbers, and immediately hang up on them and report it to the Eagle Pass Police Department.

Barrera advises citizens that the Eagle Pass Water Works System Office takes payments from Monday through Friday from 8 A.M. to 4:30 P.M. at their offices located at 2107 N. Veterans Boulevard in Eagle Pass and 24 hours, 7 days a week through the newly installed automated payment kiosks/centers located outside their offices.
