Private wells around Channing
Channing is the Hartley County seat, northwest of Amarillo in ranch country where wells often serve both homes and livestock. It’s about 48 miles northwest of Amarillo in Hartley County. Household wells draw from the Ogallala Aquifer. The Texas Water Development Board describes Ogallala water north of the Canadian River as generally fresh. The deeper Dockum Aquifer is also present here. TWDB describes Dockum water as generally hard and often high in dissolved solids, and some Dockum wells exceed drinking-water standards for gross alpha (radioactivity) or nitrate, so test any well that draws from it.
Deep pump settings mean long runs of drop pipe and wire. Low pressure, tripping breakers, or a pump that runs but delivers little water are worth diagnosing before replacing the whole system.
