Amarillo Water Plan Faces Bush Estate Obstacle
Amarillo plans a 36 inch water pipeline with 11 miles of line and a proposed 9 mile extension to northeast water sources, but the Bush Estate in Randall County refuses permission to drill or cross land. The city may seek eminent domain and a jury of review to determine damages, with appeals possible to higher courts. Tim O'Brien representing the estate vows to contest through the courts while city officials seek an amicable settlement.
