BULK WATER Services for Wellman, TX

The Algodon Solar Energy Center, developed by Invenergy for acquisition by American Electric Power subsidiary PSO as part of AEP's $2.47 billion fuel-free power portfolio, is a 150-megawatt utility-scale solar facility sited within the Wellman-Union Consolidated Independent School District in Terry County, with a peak investment tax base contribution estimated at $167,580,000 and (Texas), a proposed in-service date of December 30, 2025 under an executed Generator Interconnection Agreement with Southwestern Public Service and SPP, (Southwest Power Pool), placing one of the most clearly defined and financed utility-scale solar construction programs in the South Plains directly within the Wellman service corridor. Terry County sits at the intersection of US 380 and FM 1780 on the South Plains, positioned between Lubbock to the northeast and the Permian Basin's northern shelf counties to the south, making Wellman a logistics node that simultaneously serves the active oil field operations running across Terry County's base of 687 active wells and 45 operating companies, (BJ Oil), the Algodon solar construction program, and the wind energy O&M footprint extending from adjacent South Plains counties where the 500-megawatt South Plains Wind Farm and other major projects operate along the same CREZ transmission corridors that the Algodon project interconnects to. Utility-scale solar construction at the 150-megawatt scale requires substantial bulk water across every major civil phase, including panel foundation drilling and concrete pier pours across hundreds of acres, substation civil work and transformer pad construction, access road preparation and surface stabilization over caliche terrain, and sustained potable crew support for a workforce operating on open agricultural land where no municipal water utility extends to active panel installation zones. Terry County's rural utility infrastructure does not reach active solar construction sites, and the single-season build window typical of projects targeting a December commercial operation date compresses all peak water demand into a short, high-intensity period that leaves no room for sourcing gaps. Contractors mobilizing to the Algodon site or supporting the county's concurrent oil field operations who have not confirmed bulk water delivery arrangements ahead of mobilization will find limited regional tanker availability in a county where Wellman is the only incorporated community within direct range of the construction footprint. Water Runner provides TCEQ-licensed bulk water delivery with the fleet capacity and South Plains operational reach to serve Wellman-area solar construction, wind energy O&M programs, upstream field operations, and rural infrastructure projects reliably from first mobilization through completion.
