Ridgecrest Development Project to Temporarily Impact Traffic

Traffic patterns on Fulton Drive will be temporarily adjusted today as part of the new addition to the Ridgecrest development. Fulton Drive will be temporarily closed between Holiday Drive and Harmony Street. Eastbound traffic will be detoured at Holiday Drive, and westbound traffic will be detoured southbound at Harmony Street. The temporary closure will allow crews to permanently repair sections of the roadway where temporary trenches were installed for a new water main serving the development. Fulton Drive is expected to reopen by Friday (February 27). The temporary traffic adjustment is intended to safely route vehicles around the construction zone while minimizing public disruption. Motorists are encouraged to follow all posted signage and exercise caution when traveling through the area.

Repairs Underway for Unauthorized Discharge of Treated Wastewater

Repairs are underway related to an unauthorized discharge of 100,000 gallons of treated wastewater. The discharge is in a non-residential area approximately one-half mile south of the Harrington Power Generation facility and one-half mile west of Lakeside Drive. No public or private drinking water sources have been identified within one-half mile of the spill location. The discharge is not identified as an environmental hazard as the water has been through the full treatment process and has been adequately disinfected. The discharge was identified on Monday (February 23) at 9:45 a.m. and the pumps supplying the water were shut off immediately stopping the flow of treated wastewater. The repairs to the line are ongoing and expected to be complete in the next 48 hours. The cause of the unauthorized discharge was a broken air relief valve. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has been notified of the spill and repair efforts are being conducted by City of Amarillo Wastewater collections personnel.
