Amarillo Drought Lifts Stage One | Amarillo News

Amarillo’s drought emergency is easing—Stage One officially lifted this Friday after a dramatic rebound from dangerously low water levels. Down to 52% capacity in August, reservoirs now sit at over 80% thanks to community conservation and smart operational changes. City officials credit residents and businesses for stepping up during a brutal summer with 38+ days over 100°F and just 5 inches of rain. While the city’s water authority helped manage regional demand, experts still urge everyone to keep conserving—because even when things look better, wise water use never goes out of style.
