City of Pampa approves utility easement and wastewater treatment partnership with Jacobs Engineering

In a recent meeting held on March 24, 2025, the Pampa City Commission made several key decisions that will impact the community, focusing on election preparations, utility management, and wastewater treatment improvements.

One of the significant actions taken was the appointment of Charlotte Livingston and Jennifer Puryear as election judges for the upcoming May elections. This decision ensures that the electoral process in Pampa will be managed by qualified individuals, contributing to a smooth and fair voting experience for residents.

The Commission also adopted a resolution authorizing a utility easement with Southwestern Public Service Company at the Pampa Landfill. This easement will facilitate the relocation of utility lines to improve safety and efficiency. The adjustments will align the lines with Landfill Road, minimizing potential hazards and ensuring better service delivery to the area, including the nearby gun range.

Another critical agenda item was the approval of a professional services agreement with Jacobs Engineering for the city's wastewater treatment project. This agreement is part of a broader initiative to enhance the wastewater treatment facility, aiming to produce Type 1 reuse water. The project will focus on optimizing the plant's layout to ensure efficient gravity flow, which is essential for reducing operational costs and improving service reliability. Notably, the funding for this project will be covered entirely by Intersect Power, allowing the city to maintain oversight while benefiting from external financial support.

These decisions reflect the Commission's commitment to improving local infrastructure and services, directly addressing community needs and enhancing the quality of life for Pampa residents. As these projects move forward, the city aims to foster a more sustainable and efficient environment for its citizens.
