Private wells around Clarendon
Clarendon is the Donley County seat on US 287, near Greenbelt Lake. Ranch houses and rural homes across the county depend on private wells. It’s about 56 miles east of Amarillo in Donley County. Household wells draw mainly from the Ogallala Aquifer. The Texas Water Development Board notes that Ogallala water quality generally declines south of the Canadian River, where dissolved minerals and naturally occurring fluoride are more common, so an occasional lab test is a good idea if your family drinks well water.
Ranch wells often feed long water lines to tanks and pastures. A leak on a distant line can make a pump run nonstop and look like a pump failure, so walk the lines before assuming the worst.

Drilling or replacing a well near Clarendon
According to Texas Water Development Board maps, Clarendon is within the Panhandle Groundwater Conservation District. For a household or livestock well producing 17.5 gallons per minute or less, the district does not require a production permit, but the well must be registered before drilling so the district can confirm spacing. Registration carries a refundable deposit, returned once the driller files the completion report and log, and drilling an unregistered well can bring a penalty.
Common well problems around Clarendon
- No water from the well — check breakers, the pressure gauge, and for leaks before assuming the pump failed.
- Well pump repair and pump replacement
- Pressure tank problems — short cycling, sputtering faucets, or pressure that swings.
- Well inspections for home sales and refinancing
- New well drilling
Before hiring anyone, confirm their Texas water well driller or pump installer license through TDLR, plus insurance and a written estimate.
