NewsChannel 10’s Water Wasters Wednesday returns to spotlight water conservation in Amarillo

AMARILLO, Texas (KFDA) — NewsChannel 10 is asking the community to help spot water being wasted across Amarillo this summer.

The effort is part of Water Wasters Wednesday, a summer-long weekly segment focused on identifying areas where the city can improve water conservation.

One of the most important water sources in the country is the Ogallala Aquifer.

With summer heat increasing water use, conservation efforts are especially important across the Texas Panhandle.

Viewers are encouraged to look for water being wasted at businesses, schools, government buildings and public spaces.

If you see a sprinkler running into the street, water pooling in a parking lot or other large-scale water waste, take a photo or video and send it to waterwasters@newschannel10.com.

NewsChannel 10 is asking viewers to keep the focus on larger water users, including commercial properties, public spaces and government buildings.
