Amarillo's sewer collection system: reported overflows and main and lift station work (2017-2026)

Amarillo's wastewater collection system (sewer mains, manholes and lift stations) has had a series of reported overflows of untreated wastewater. City releases and local news report a 980,000-gallon and a 50,000-gallon overflow from an Osage Street manhole in June 2023, an 850,000-gallon lift station overflow near South Osage in July 2023, five overflows at Lift Station 40 (7100 Cliffside) between December 2023 and September 2026 ranging from 100,000 to about 1,026,000 gallons, and a 750,000-gallon discharge from a sewer main manhole that reached East Amarillo Creek on September 11, 2026, after which the City advised against recreational contact with Thompson Park Lake. TCEQ was notified of each. Council records from 2017 on show collection-system work, including an emergency sewer main replacement ($355,000, 2017), pipe-bursting sewer main rehabilitation contracts (about $1.9 million each in 2017, 2017-18 and 2022), a TWDB-financed Lift Station 32 replacement, design of a new Lift Station 40 (2019), Lift Station 40 pumps (2024), and a Lift Station 19 replacement study on the October 13, 2026 agenda. The City has not publicly tied these purchases to specific overflows.

A storyline groups dated events in order. It is a chronology, not an argument; it does not say why anything happened. All storylines

Where the story starts depends on the framing

From the first collection-system overflows found in City and news reports (June 2023): starts with Osage Street manhole overflows twice during June 2023 storms (Jun 1, 2023 – Jun 2, 2023)
From the earliest collection-system repair found in council records (emergency sewer main replacement, February 2017): starts with Council approves $355,000 emergency replacement of a sewer main feeding Lift Station 12 (Feb 28, 2017)
