Long-Term Water Supply Is an Active Planning Issue

Lubbock County water comes from underground and surface sources. Underground, the big name is the Ogallala Aquifer. Above ground, reservoirs such as Lake Alan Henry are part of the supply picture. The Texas Water Development Board tracks the long-term planning numbers.

For a rural buyer, this gets real at the well. Water depth can change from one part of the county to another. A well that worked years ago may not tell you enough about today. Before you fall for a tract, ask a licensed water well driller about depth and yield at that exact spot.
