  10. Current Groundwater System Roberts Original Wellfield (JCW) - $83,500,000 2005 Bond Issue - $50,000,000 2006 Bond Issue - $50,000,000 2009 Bond Issue - $21,600,000 2011 Bond Issue - $81,630,000 _________________________________ TOTAL - $286,730,000 Hemphill Moore Hutchinson Phase 1-2 Phase 3 Borger 54-inch Groundwater Pampa Potter Carson Gray Wheeler • Wellfield Capacity • 46 Production Wells • Estimated Avg Capacity 1,350 gpm • 46 miles 54-inch pipe • Total well capacity 100,000 acre-feet/yr • Pipeline capacity 70,000 acre-feet/yr Amarillo To Southern Cities

  11. What’s Next? If Lake Meredith doesn’t come back “soon”, additional infrastructure to produce this new water may be required to fill the original lake water system with groundwater. • Original lake water system design capacity 112 MGD. • Current groundwater system capacity is 64 MGD. • A second groundwater system could make the original lake water system whole. • CRMWA Member Cities would then be “drought proof”!

  12. Transition from Lake Meredith to Groundwater • CRMWA’s water supply has transitioned from lake water to groundwater in just over 10 years. • With this current purchase, we now have groundwater to last well over a century, even under drought conditions the entire time. • A major expense but no one had to move!
