CRMWA II

CRMWA II is a proposed second pipeline that would carry groundwater from the Canadian River Municipal Water Authority's Roberts County well field to its existing aqueduct and member cities, including Amarillo; sources give its length as about 70 miles, 67 miles or 68 miles. The 2026 Panhandle Water Plan costs it for a 72-inch pipe at $767,771,000 in September 2023 prices, and CRMWA's general manager put the cost at about $1.2 billion in June 2026, about $450 million of it Amarillo's. A non-binding memorandum of understanding among CRMWA and its 11 member cities sets construction debt in 2034 and operation by the end of 2038; the Amarillo City Council approved it 4-0 on June 23, 2026. The City's rate consultant projected Amarillo's annual CRMWA cost rising from about $14.25 million in FY2026 to about $39.52 million in FY2036.

What is planned

Route: From CRMWA's Roberts County well field to its existing aqueduct system, with tie-ins to Amarillo's and Pampa's systems (2026 Panhandle Water Plan). CRMWA's annual report says the water would enter the original surface-water delivery system at a point in Amarillo. The 2016 archeological survey route ran through Carson, Gray, Potter and Roberts Counties from wells about 17 miles northeast of Pampa to Amarillo. ^1,2,3PlanBy Panhandle Water Planning Group (2026 Panhandle Water Plan); CRMWA (FY2025 annual report), Oct 13, 2025

EstimateBy CRMWA general manager; Panhandle Water Planning Group; TWDB, Jun 23, 2026
Amarillo's portionabout $450 million: CRMWA's general manager told the council on June 23, 2026 that about $450 million of the roughly $1.2 billion would be the City of Amarillo's portion. No published cost-allocation table for CRMWA II was found. ⁵EstimateBy CRMWA general manager (as reported by the Amarillo Tribune), Jun 23, 2026$450 million is 37.5% of $1.2 billion (our calculation).
How costs are shared: The MOU states each member city has rights to a defined allocation of CRMWA's water supply and system capacity and that each member city's council must approve CRMWA debt. CRMWA's existing bonds are contract revenue bonds secured by the participating cities' payments, with debt service shared in proportion (with some exceptions), and the contract reallocates the debt to the other cities if one cannot pay. Amarillo's water allocation for FY2025-26 and the proposed FY2026-27 is 32,240 of 87,000 acre-feet (37.1%). ^4,2As of Dec 1, 2025
Financing: Under the MOU, CRMWA would issue construction debt in 2034, after raising its capital improvements budget each year from October 1, 2026 to pay for critical repairs and CRMWA II design. The MOU says a design-ready project would improve access to state and federal funding and that CRMWA will keep CRMWA II in the State Water Plan. CRMWA does not appear on the TWDB's list of 2026 SWIFT abridged applications. ^4,13PlanBy CRMWA and member cities (MOU), Jun 23, 2026
Annual cost (plan)$68,533,000 a year: The 2026 plan's cost table estimates annual costs of $68,533,000, including $53,679,000 of debt service over 20 years at 3.5 percent, or $3.24 per 1,000 gallons ($0.70 after debt service), at September 2023 prices. ⁶EstimateBy Panhandle Water Planning Group (2026 Panhandle Water Plan, Table D-23), Oct 13, 2025
Amarillo's CRMWA cost$14.25M (FY2026) to $39.52M (FY2036): The City's rate consultant, NewGen Strategies and Solutions, projected Amarillo's annual CRMWA cost rising from about $14.25 million in FY2026 to about $39.52 million in FY2036, from 24% to 40% of the water budget, with CRMWA capital costs ramping up from 2027 and CRMWA II debt anticipated in 2034. No per-household figure was found. ^9,14ProjectionBy NewGen Strategies and Solutions (rate study presented April 14, 2026, as reported), Apr 14, 2026
City budget, FY2026/27$14,216,749: The City's FY2026/27 budget book budgets $14,216,749 for its payment to CRMWA, up $4,965,794 from FY2025/26, plus $4,021,325 of debt service on its share of CRMWA refunding bonds. The book does not state the reason for the increase. ¹⁵As of Sep 24, 2026
Costs to date$2,061,491 receivable: CRMWA records CRMWA II project costs as a receivable from member cities, to be repaid separately from operating charges once easement purchases are complete; it was $2,061,491 at September 30, 2025. ²As of Sep 30, 2025

Our calculation · an illustration, not a bill

The projected CRMWA increase per water customer

The City's rate consultant projected what Amarillo pays CRMWA each year; this divides the increase by the number of City water customers in the FY2025 audited report.

Amarillo's CRMWA cost, FY2026 (projection)	$14.25M
Amarillo's CRMWA cost, FY2036 (projection)	$39.52M
Difference per year	$25.27M
Spread evenly over 72,812 water customers (FY2025)	about $29 a month

Our arithmetic, an illustration, not a bill. The increase covers all of CRMWA's rising capital costs, not CRMWA II alone; the City sets rates by customer class and meter size, not evenly; the figures are in future, not today's, dollars; and no per-household estimate has been published. From: Amarillo's CRMWA cost.

What it could change

What the parties, agencies and plans have said about effects on the area, and the measured baselines to compare against. This site makes no projections of its own; our arithmetic is labelled.

Water

Stated purpose: The MOU and City agenda give three reasons: Lake Meredith's limited reliability and water quality, deterioration of the 1960s pressure section of the aqueduct between Lake Meredith and Amarillo, and member cities' need for more water. It would add redundancy for 25 miles of 1968 pipe that carries all CRMWA water to every city except Borger and Pampa, the 48-mile 2001 groundwater pipeline, and 23 miles of 1968 pipe to Pampa. ⁴Company statementBy CRMWA and member cities (MOU); City of Amarillo agenda summary, Jun 23, 2026
Lake Meredith: The MOU says average inflow fell from about 130,000 acre-feet a year (1965-2000) to about 57,000 (2000-2025) and that chlorides doubled at the same lake level over 25 years. The 2026 plan sets Lake Meredith's reliable supply for planning at 12,000 acre-feet a year in 2030, falling to 4,500 in 2080. The lake was 44.6% full on October 15, 2026. ^4,1,16As of Oct 15, 2026
CRMWA shortfall22,540 to 64,858 acre-feet a year: The 2026 plan projects demands on CRMWA of 97,421 acre-feet a year in 2030 and 118,345 in 2080 against current supply of 77,000 falling to 54,333, a need of 22,540 in 2030 and 64,858 in 2080. It counts CRMWA II at 65,000 acre-feet a year from 2030 through 2050. ¹ProjectionBy Panhandle Water Planning Group (2026 Panhandle Water Plan, Tables 5C-1 and 5C-2), Oct 13, 2025
Amarillo's demand on CRMWA41,199 (2030) to 50,000 (2080) acre-feet a year: The plan projects Amarillo's demand on CRMWA at 41,199 acre-feet a year in 2030, 45,419 in 2040, 49,340 in 2050 and 50,000 from 2060 to 2080. It gives Amarillo's current delivery capacity from CRMWA as 42,987 acre-feet a year, which CRMWA intends to increase with CRMWA II. ¹ProjectionBy Panhandle Water Planning Group (2026 Panhandle Water Plan), Oct 13, 2025
Amarillo shortfall: For the City of Amarillo water user group, the 2027 State Water Plan data project demand of 46,830 acre-feet a year in 2030 and 56,866 in 2080, existing drought supply of 42,732 falling to 32,187, and a need of 4,098 rising to 24,679, with no unmet need after strategies. Supply credited to Amarillo from "Expand Capacity CRMWA 2" is 0 in 2030, 1,237 in 2040 and 6,511 in 2080. For the City's whole potable system (including manufacturing and Canyon), the regional plan projects a need before strategies of 5,170 acre-feet a year in 2030 and 31,112 in 2080. ^17,1ProjectionBy TWDB 2027 State Water Plan data; Panhandle Water Planning Group (2026 plan, Table 5C-4), Jan 22, 2026Amarillo planned to share CRMWA II for its own Roberts/Ochiltree water but the 2026 plan says it will develop that water separately ($526 million, 75 miles of 36-inch pipe, about 2065).
Fermi America demand: A text search of both volumes of the 2026 Panhandle Water Plan found no mention of Fermi America, Project Matador or data centers. In September 2025 CRMWA's general manager said its models were not forecasting that Fermi's demand would come from CRMWA. No source reviewed says CRMWA II is sized for Fermi. ^1,6,18As of Oct 25, 2026
Roberts County groundwater: CRMWA holds water rights on just over 456,000 acres in Roberts and adjacent counties (456,993 in the plan); only a fraction are developed. Well field capacity was 75.8 MGD in FY2025, declining, with four new wells (about 7 MGD) due in summer 2026. The Panhandle Groundwater Conservation District's goal is at least 50% of Ogallala storage remaining in each 50-year period from 2018 to 2080; its modeled available groundwater for Roberts County is 409,300 acre-feet a year in 2030 and 286,594 in 2080. District rules cap production at 1 acre-foot per acre of rights per year and require a transport permit to move water out of the district. ^2,1,19,20As of Jul 9, 2026
