The Northwest Well (NW Well) is located within the city limits, just south of the City/County line and west of Camino de los Montoyas. It’s within a few thousand feet of the domestic wells in the south-central area of the Tano Road neighborhood.
The NW Well is 2,000 feet deep and one of over 20 wells that comprise the City well field. City wells, including the NW Well, are contributing to a general decline in the aquifer of about 2.3 feet per year.
