Private wells around Littlefield
Littlefield is the Lamb County seat on US 84, northwest of Lubbock. It’s about 94 miles south of Amarillo in Lamb 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.
The Ogallala is thin in much of the southern High Plains, and many older wells produce less than they used to. If yield has dropped gradually over years, have the water level measured before buying a new pump.

Drilling or replacing a well near Littlefield
According to Texas Water Development Board maps, Littlefield is within the High Plains Underground Water Conservation District No. 1. The district does not require a permit for a well producing less than 17.5 gallons per minute, which covers a typical household well. Registering a small well is optional and free, and a registered well is protected by a spacing buffer if someone later drills a larger permitted well nearby. Wells at or above 17.5 gpm need a district permit before drilling. Call HPWD (806-762-0181) to confirm your property’s status.
