Amarillo water plan favors wells over Palo Duro dam site
A detailed study argues wells southwest of Amarillo can meet current and future needs for decades at lower cost and with simpler operations than a Palo Duro reservoir. It recommends gravity-fed gravity line, electric pumps, a five million gallon reservoir, and minimal initial investment to keep water affordable while allowing expansion. The report, prepared for city officials, urges immediate action and emphasizes avoiding costly surface reservoirs and park use.
