Curious how every drop counts? You pay for every drop, whether you use water wisely or waste it. Water is a precious resource in the Texas Panhandle. Do at least one thing a day to save water. Even if the savings are small, every drop counts.

Conserving water is the most effective and environmentally sound way to protect our water supply. The City of Amarillo consistently works to secure additional water rights so that there will be water for generations to come, but we must still do our part to conserve now.

It is important that water conservation measures be taken to protect our natural resources.
