MOREHEAD WON THE EL PASO MAYORAL RACE ON A PLATFORM THAT PROMISED AN ACCEPTABLE WATER SYSTEM FOR THE CITY. LATER THAT YEAR, THE INTERNATIONAL WATER COMPANY (IWC) BEGAN CONSTRUCTION OF A WATER WORKS ON THE MESA NORTH OF FORT BLISS TO TAP INTO THE HUECO BOLSON AQUIFER. AROUND 1904, IWC REPLACED THE COMPRESSOR WITH A NEW PUMP PLANT. THIS NEW MESA PUMP PLANT DREW WATER FROM THE MESA WELLS THAT WAS THEN STORED IN A ONE-MILLION- GALLON, IN-GROUND TANK. HOWEVER, IN ORDER TO MEET DEMAND, IWC PUMPED WATER AT A RATE THAT EXCEEDED REPLENISHMENT. THE CITY OF EL PASO PURCHASED THE IWC IN 1909 FOR $927,000, BUT EVEN UNDER MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP, THE PUMP PLANT COULD NOT MEET THE DEMAND FOR WATER. BY THE LATE 1930s, THE CITY HAD BOTH EXPANDED THE MUNICIPAL WATER SYSTEM AND REVAMPED EXISTING FACILITIES IN ORDER TO MEET CONSTANTLY INCREASING DEMAND. BY 1937, THE CITY HAD BOTH A LOW-SERVICE DISTRICT SYSTEM FOR ELEVATIONS BELOW 3,850 FEET AND A HIGH-SERVICE DISTRICT SYSTEM FOR ELEVATIONS ABOVE 3,850 FEET; THE MESA PUMP PLANT WAS INCLUDED IN THE HIGH-SERVICE SYSTEM. THE CITY OF EL PASO DEPARTMENT OF WATER AND SEWAGE BUILT THE MESA WATER BOOSTING STATION IN 1938 TO REPLACE THE AGING MESA PUMP PLANT.

    Page 8 of 26 1 included with the Proposed Transaction, although it is quite possible that EPE will 2 experience a one-notch downgrade of its Moody’s rating due to weaker cash flow, 3 regardless of whether the Proposed Transaction is consummated. As is discussed below, 4 Moody’s placed EPE on negative credit outlook more than a year before the 5 announcement of the Proposed Transaction, therefore any future downgrade by Moody’s 6 would likely be the result of factors unrelated to the Proposed Transaction. While both 7 Moody’s and S&P took ratings action following the announcement of the merger 8 agreement, when the Proposed Transaction closes the protection of the credit ratings of 9 EPE will be aided by the full and complete set of ring-fencing commitments proposed by 10 the Joint Applicants. 11 In preparing my Direct Testimony, I compared the ring-fencing provisions 12 proposed by the Joint Applicants against a systematic and comprehensive list of standards 13 that reflects my prior experience regarding credit defaults and bankruptcies particularly in 14 the utility and energy sector. This master list of standards incorporates the guidelines 15 applied by the three major credit rating agencies. The Joint Applicants’ proposed ring- 16 fencing provisions satisfy every aspect of these standards. Taken together, these 17 protective provisions will provide strong separation for EPE and EPE’s customers and 18 communities from risk of involuntary consolidation in bankruptcy with Sun Jupiter, IIF 19 US 2, or any IIF US 2 affiliate. Equally important, the proposed ring-fencing provisions 20 will enable EPE to retain access to all of its own financial and physical assets and cash 21 flow so that EPE can properly conduct its business and remain viable, even in the case of 22 financial distress of Sun Jupiter, IIF US 2, or any IIF US 2 affiliate.

ICE is the principal investigative arm of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the second largest investigative agency in the Federal Government. Created in 2003 through a merger of the investigative and interior enforcement elements of the U.S. Customs Service and the Immigrations and Naturalization Service, ICE now has more than 20,000 employees in over 400 offices in all 50 states and 46 foreign countries. ICE’s primary mission is to promote homeland security and public safety through criminal and civil enforcement of federal laws governing border control, customs, trade, and immigration. ICE Service Processing Centers (SPCs) must have sufficient detention services, armed transportation services, on-call guard services, administrative and office space services, and parking spaces to effectively and efficiently conduct ICE’s mission.
