There are new developments in a story NewsChannel 11 has been following since April of 2005. That's when the city began conducting tests to drill water wells at city parks.
The goal was to save on city water by using well water to irrigate parks instead of drinking water. Back in June, we told you the wells were installed but the city didn't have the pumps yet. Monday, the Parks and Recreation board met and they tell us they have now taken bids for the equipment. They'll ask for approval from the Lubbock City Council this Thursday.
