The 30-second brief
23 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in Amarillo Water Utilities's meetings, most in capital projects and administration & finance. The latest, from Oct 27: At its October 27, 2026 meeting the council denied Southwestern Public Service Company's proposed Large General Service - Transmission tariff amendments and joined the coalition of similarly situated cities. The resolution also authorized special counsel Herrera Law & Associates, PLLC and said SPS must reimburse municipal rate case expenses monthly. The case is tied to large-load electricity demand and potential infrastructure costs, so this is a live utility-rate fight with active legal spend.
