311

EP 311 Program

The City of El Paso’s 3-1-1 Program is a type of citizens’ hotline. It’s a simple way for you to report problems or ask questions about your community, without tying up emergency lines, or going through frustrating municipal channels. The 3-1-1 Customer Service Center can make requests and provide information for more than 20 City departments.

311 is a non-emergency service and is not monitored 24/7. In the case of an emergency, calls will be immediately transferred to 911. 311

Call Center hours of operation are Monday-Sunday 7:00 am to 11:00 pm including holidays.

Before you report, you can review and see the progress of recently submitted reports. Read more about the types of issues you can report below.

How do I follow up on service requests?

El Paso 3-1-1 will send an automatic “Service Request” to the corresponding department for their response. A tracking number is assigned to each Service Request and the public can call back to check on the status of their request. While we try to answer questions on the first call, sometimes transfers are necessary.
