Serving Upton County, TX

Upton County sits in the eastern Permian Basin, where the McCamey area—long known as the "Wind Energy Capital"—now anchors growing utility-scale solar alongside established wind and oil & gas activity along the US-67 and US-385 corridors. For greenfield sites well outside municipal water infrastructure, our bulk water delivery across West Texas delivers the supply reliability that sparse rural utilities at the edge of the basin cannot consistently guarantee.

15-35% of solar panel output can be lost to dust buildup and soiling without regular wash programs, making documented water delivery a direct line on the operating P&L.
Active Pipeline

Upton County Solar Pipeline

Upton County sits in the eastern Permian Basin, where utility-scale solar development now joins the established wind and oil & gas activity that made the McCamey area the "Wind Energy Capital." Projects spread across open rural acreage along the US-67 and US-385 corridors in the ERCOT West load zone. Strong solar resource, available land, and existing transmission make the corridor between the Permian core and the Concho Valley an active renewable buildout zone.

Local Conditions

Semi-Arid Climate, High Dust Loads

Upton County's semi-arid climate brings high dust loads, intense sun, and low humidity across exposed open terrain. Wind-driven caliche and fine soil settle quickly on panel glass, while construction grading and unpaved access roads add continuous dust during the build phase. These conditions drive steady demand for dust-control water during construction and recurring panel-wash cycles through commissioning and long-term O&M, where reliable trucked supply keeps generation on target.

Our Position

Scheduled Routes from the Permian Core

McCamey sits roughly 85 miles southwest of our Midland headquarters, so Upton County runs as a scheduled-service market with established crew routes from the Permian core. We plan deliveries around major commissioning windows, construction-phase water services, and surge wash campaigns, coordinating with EPCs and O&M crews already working remote sites across the eastern Permian and Concho Valley corridor.

UPTON COUNTY SOLAR MARKET

Inside the Upton County Solar Buildout

Three Water Grades. One Vendor.

Solar projects need different types of water for different jobs. We deliver all three from one TCEQ-licensed source, with one purchase order and one chain of custody for your QA/QC binder.

P

Potable Water

Clean drinking water for crew trailers, gate houses, hand-wash stations, and safety equipment. Meets federal drinking water standards and arrives with lab documentation.

RO

Frequently Asked Questions

Upton County Solar Farm Water FAQs

Does Water Runner deliver bulk water to solar farms in Upton County?

Yes. Water Runner delivers bulk water to utility-scale solar farms throughout Upton County and the McCamey area, including remote sites along the US-67 and US-385 corridors in the eastern Permian Basin. McCamey is roughly 85 miles from our Midland headquarters, so we run scheduled service with established crew routes throughout the region, supplying potable, RO, and DI water from a single TCEQ-licensed source.

What types of water does Water Runner deliver for solar farm projects?

We deliver three water grades from one TCEQ-licensed source: potable water for crew supply and safety stations, reverse osmosis (RO) water for general panel washing and as feed water for on-site DI polishing rigs, and deionized (DI) water for commissioning washes and high-purity O&M cleaning. All three grades are available from a single point of contact.

When should we engage a water vendor for our solar farm project?

Engage Water Runner before mobilization day, ideally 60 to 180 days ahead of ground-break. Procurement teams use this lead time to onboard us as an approved vendor, validate insurance and credentials, and lock in volume-tiered terms. EPC superintendents and O&M asset managers can also reach us on shorter notice for surge needs, including post-storm wash campaigns and emergency response.

Does Water Runner provide documentation for our QA/QC and SWPPP binders?

Yes. Every delivery includes a load ticket with source, volume, date, and water grade. Potable deliveries include a water-quality lab test. SWPPP-compatible delivery tickets are formatted to drop directly into your BMP documentation binder, supporting EPA NPDES, TCEQ, OSHA 1926.51, and ANSI Z358.1 reporting requirements.

What is the Rapid Fill RO System and when is it available?

The Rapid Fill RO System is a dual-stage, high-recovery reverse osmosis plant built for high-volume panel wash and commissioning campaigns. It produces 300 to 400 GPM on-site (300 GPM primary plus 100 GPM secondary on the reject stream), reducing waste water discharge volume compared to single-pass RO. The system launches in Summer 2026, with pre-launch registration open now for priority scheduling.
