Amarillo Water Plan Criticized as Unreliable and Expensive
The report questions reliance on Palo Duro reservoirs for Amarillo’s water, arguing seepage losses limit reservoir yield, favoring a strong wells-based supply. It assesses Hoffman and Hudson dam sites, rainfall considerations, dam geology, spillway risks, and land rights, urging wells as the primary source and cautioning about reservoir costs and filtration needs.
