For many years, El Paso Water’s beloved mascot Willie the Waterdrop has made a lasting impact by helping kids understand the value of water and the importance of saving water.

Willie’s History

When Willie the Waterdrop was introduced in 1991, he was named “Willie the Water Waster,” sharing lessons of what NOT to do. Eventually, good triumphed over evil, and the new “Willie the Waterdrop” became the water ambassador that he is today.

Yesterday’s kids are now today’s adults, and the water lessons learned over the decades have become part of the culture in our desert city. We have embraced conservation, saving water indoors and outdoors with water-smart landscaping. In the process, we’ve significantly cut our consumption.
