Basics of Amarillo Water
Drinking water, also commonly known as potable water, can be sourced from a river, lake, or in many cases from an aquifer or a water well.
- The City of Amarillo’s water supply comes from two sources:
- A system of city wells drawing water from the Ogallala Aquifer
- Canadian River Municipal Water Authority (CRMWA) provides well- water and water from Lake Meredith.
- There are approximately 75,000 water meters in Amarillo for homes and various businesses.
The city tracks daily usage along with setting daily usage goals.
