• The 21 new wells were drilled in Potter and Carson Counties approximately 18 miles northeast of the City of Amarillo.   
• A new pump station capable of delivering up to 20 million gallons of water per day has been built at 21801 State Hwy 136. 
• A  42”/48” transmission main has been installed to transfer water 18.1 miles from this new pump station to the existing N.E. 24th Street Pump Station.   
• Another  feature of the project is an interconnect line that can move water from  either  the Potter County or Carson County Well Fields through either the new Potter County transmission main or the existing Carson County transmission main.  This feature significantly enhances the security of the system by providing redundancy to the water transmission system in this area. 

Currently, nine of the twenty one wells are in production.  The City anticipates the project will see full production capabilities of 20 million gallons per day in May of 2012. Completing the project will be a new Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system to control and monitor the well field.  A future pipeline will transfer water from the N. E. 24th St. Pump Station across the City to the Osage Water Treatment Plant where the water can be dispersed throughout the city as needed.

The vision and foresight for the development of the Potter County Well Field ensures adequate and safe supplies of potable water for the future of Amarillo.  This project allows the City of Amarillo the flexibility to ensure water for our current and future demands.
