Private wells around Spearman

Spearman is the Hansford County seat in the northeast Panhandle’s wheat and irrigated farm country. It’s about 76 miles northeast of Amarillo in Hansford County. Household wells draw from the Ogallala Aquifer. The Texas Water Development Board describes Ogallala water north of the Canadian River as generally fresh.

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.
