Can You Drink Tap Water in Amarillo?

Yes, Amarillo's tap water is generally considered safe to drink as Amarillo has no active health based violations of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) that we are aware of. Other factors such as lead piping in a home, or low levels of pollutants on immunocompromised individuals, should also be considered, however. To find more recent info we might have, you can check out our boil water notice page or the city's water provider website.

According the EPA’s ECHO database, from April 30, 2019 to June 30, 2022, Amarillo's water utility, Amarillo Municipal Water System, had 1 non-health-based violations of the Safe Drinking Water Act. For more details on the violations, please see our violation history section below. The last violation for Amarillo was resolved on Nov. 30, 2015. This assessment is based on the Amarillo Municipal Water System water system, other water systems in the city may have different results.

While tap water that meets the EPA health guidelines generally won’t make you sick to your stomach, it can still contain regulated and unregulated contaminants present in trace amounts that could potentially cause health issues over the long-run. These trace contaminants may also impact immunocompromised and vulnerable individuals.

The EPA is reviewing if it’s current regulations around pollutant levels in tap water are strict enough, and the health dangers posed by unregulated pollutants, like PFAS.

Water Quality Report for Amarillo Tap Water

The most recent publicly available numbers for measured contaminant levels in Amarillo tap water are in its 2020 Water Quality Report. As you can see, there are levels which the EPA considers to be acceptable, but being below the maximum allowable level doesn’t necessarily mean the water is healthy.

Lead in tap water, for example, is currently allowed at up to 15ppb by the EPA, but it has set the ideal goal for lead at zero. This highlights how meeting EPA standards doesn’t necessarily mean local tap water is healthy.

EPA regulations continue to change as it evaluates the long term impacts of chemicals and updates drinking water acceptable levels. The rules around arsenic, as well as, lead and copper are currently being re-evaluated.

There are also a number of "emerging" contaminants that are not currently. For example, PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), for which the EPA has issued a health advisory. PFAS are called "forever chemicals" since they tend not to break down in the environment or the human body and can accumulate over time.

We recommend looking at the contaminants present in Amarillo's water quality reports, or getting your home's tap water tested to see if you should be filtering your water.

Amarillo Tap Water Safe Drinking Water Act Violation History - Prior 10 Years

Below is a ten year history of violations for the water system named Amarillo Municipal Water System for Amarillo in Texas. For more details please see the "What do these Violations Mean?" section below.

For the compliance period beginning July 1, 2021, Amarillo had 1 non-health based Safe Drinking Water Act violation with the violation category being Other Violation, more specifically, the violation code was Consumer Confidence Report Complete Failure to Report which falls into the Other rule code group, and the Consumer Confidence Rule rule code family for the following contaminant code: Consumer Confidence Rule.

For the compliance period beginning Dec. 30, 2015, Amarillo had 1 non-health based Safe Drinking Water Act violation with the violation category being Monitoring and Reporting, more specifically, the violation code was Lead Consumer Notice which falls into the Chemicals rule code group, and the Lead and Copper Rule rule code family for the following contaminant code: Lead and Copper Rule.

From Nov. 1, 2015 to Nov. 30, 2015, Amarillo had 1 non-health based Safe Drinking Water Act violation with the violation category being Monitoring and Reporting, more specifically, the violation code was Monitoring, Routine Minor (TCR) which falls into the Microbials rule code group, and the Total Coliform Rules rule code family for the following contaminant code: Coliform (TCR).

For the compliance period beginning Oct. 1, 2015, Amarillo had 1 non-health based Safe Drinking Water Act violation with the violation category being Monitoring and Reporting, more specifically, the violation code was Follow-up Or Routine LCR Tap M/R which falls into the Chemicals rule code group, and the Lead and Copper Rule rule code family for the following contaminant code: Lead and Copper Rule.

Is there Lead in Amarillo Water?

Based on the EPA’s ECHO Database, 90% of the samples taken from the Amarillo water system, Amarillo Municipal Water System, between sample start date and sample end date, were at or below, 0.0 mg/L of lead in Amarillo water. This is 0% of the 0.015 mg/L action level. This means 10% of the samples taken from Amarillo contained more lead.

While Amarillo water testing may have found 0.0 mg/L of lead in its water, that does not mean your water source has the same amount. The amount of lead in water in a city can vary greatly from neighborhood to neighborhood, or even building to building. Many buildings, particularly older ones, have lead pipes or service lines which can be a source of contamination. To find out if your home has lead, we recommend getting you water tested.

No amount of lead in water is healthy, only less dangerous. As lead accumulates in our bodies over time, even exposure to relatively small amounts can have negative health effects. For more information, please check out our Lead FAQ page.

Are there PFAS in Amarillo Tap Water?

Currently, testing tap water for PFAS isn’t mandated on a national level. We do have a list of military bases where there have been suspected or confirmed leaks. There appears to be at least one military base - NWIRP McGregor - near Amarillo with suspected leaks.

With many potential sources of PFAS in tap water across the US, the best information we currently have about which cities have PFAS in their water is this ewg map, which you can check to see if Amarillo has been evaluated for yet.

Our stance is better safe than sorry, and that it makes sense to try to purify the tap water just in case.

What do these Violations Mean?

Safe Drinking Water Act Violations categories split into two groups, health based, and non-health based. Generally, health based violations are more serious, though non-health based violations can also be cause for concern.

Health Based Violations

  1. Maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) - maximum allowed contaminant level was exceeded.
  2. Maximum residual disinfectant levels (MRDLs) - maximum allowed disinfectant level was exceeded.
  3. Other violations (Other) - the exact required process to reduce the amounts of contaminants in drinking water was not followed.

Non-Health Based Violations

  1. Monitoring and reporting violations (MR, MON) - failure to conduct the required regular monitoring of drinking water quality, and/or to submit monitoring results on time.
  2. Public notice violations (Other) - failure to immediately alert consumers if there is a serious problem with their drinking water that may pose a risk to public health.
  3. Other violations (Other) - miscellaneous violations, such as failure to issue annual consumer confidence reports or maintain required records.

The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. Water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground. The water can dissolve naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.

Contaminants that may be present in source water include:

  • Microbial contaminants such as viruses, bacteria and protozoan that may be from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife.
  • Inorganic contaminants such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban storm water runo￿, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming.
  • Pesticides and herbicides that may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm-water runo￿ and residential uses.
  • Organic chemical contaminants including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban storm-water runo￿ and septic systems.
  • Radioactive contaminants that can be naturally-occurring

or be the result of oil and gas production

and mining

activities.

 

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water that must provide protection for public health.

Contaminants may be found in drinking water that may cause taste, color or odor problems. These types of problems are not necessarily causes for health concerns. Please contact our business o￿ce at the telephone number listed below for more information on taste, color and odor of drinking water.

Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk.More information about contaminants and potential health e￿ects can be obtained by calling the EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791.

2021 WATER QUALITY REPORT

The table below lists drinking water contaminants that were detected by the State of Texas during the calendar year of this report. The presence of contaminants in the water does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. The data presented in these tables are from our most recent tests that were performed in 2020, unless otherwise noted. The state of Texas requires monitoring for certain contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants do not change frequently; therefore, some of the data below reflect testing done in 2019.

IMPORTANT DRINKING WATER

D E F I N I T I O N S

Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG): The level of a contaminant in drinking water at which there is no known or expected risk in health.

Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL): The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasi- bly possible using the best available technology.

Treatment Technique (TT): A required

process

intended to reduce the level of a

contam-

inant in drinking water.

 

Action Level: The concentration of a contaminant

which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow.

Elevated levels of lead, if present, can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. This water supply is responsible for providing high-quality drinking water, but cannot control the varieties of materials used in plumbing components. You can minimize potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking when your water has been sitting for several hours. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

We advise that you ask locals or hotel staff about the water quality. Also, note that different cities have different water mineral contents.

Sources and Resources

City of Amarillo

The City of Amarillo is situated on the banks of the Texas-Texas Gulf Coast. It is also known as the “Rio Ranch,” after Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where the city originated. Amarillo is the second-largest city in Texas, with a population of about a hundred thousand people. It is one of the fastest-growing cities in the greater Texas area and has a lot of potential as a growing metropolitan area. The city’s economic development is primarily based upon the sale and distribution of oil and gas.

The City of Amarillo owes its name to a man called Joel Roberts. He was born in Amarillo and moved to Houston, Texas. Later, he established a dry goods business in Amarillo. In 1875, he opened the first general store in the city, which sold clothing, blankets, coffee, and tea. His business flourished, and he began to employ over a hundred people.

The City of Amarillo is rich in cultural heritage, especially in music. Two of the most notable and long-playing local bands are the Dirt Dog Boot Camp Band and the Cactus Garden. Other amazing bands include the Topsiders, Soultones, Lawn and Garden, and Driveway Boys. City residents and tourists frequently attend these bands’ concerts held at various venues such as the Club America, Silverado Live, and Bass Pro Shop. Some of these events draw hundreds of fans to the city.

Amarillo Tap Water

Amarillo Tap Water is the most famous tap water in the whole of Texas. That’s because it provides quality water and the most affordable prices. Amarillo is located in the panhandle of Texas, which means it is surrounded by vast, lush, and wonderful land. Since Amarillo is such a wonderful place to live, many people commute from surrounding cities such as Houston, Dallas, or Austin to have easy access to work, school, and other essential activities. This makes it one of the fastest-growing cities in Texas and also one of the most crowded.

Like everywhere else in the United States, Amarillo’s tap water has to go through a rigorous process for approval. First, the water must undergo testing to see how clean it is. This is usually done using ultraviolet light, as well as a secondary filtering process. After the initial round of testing, the water is put through the third set of tests to see how well it compares with standards laid out by the Environmental Protection Agency. All of this is necessary, as without having good water to drink, Amarillo would be considered unhealthful by any standard.

Amarillo Tap Water is sold throughout the city under brands such as Deer Park, Lucky Diner, City of Water, and Texas Water. In addition to these, other brands sell their water under this name. One trendy brand is Amarillo Water, sold both in retail stores and on the Internet. As long as you purchase your water from a reputable company, it should last you quite a few years.

Amarillo Drinking Water

Amarillo is one of the largest cities in Texas and has a wealthy cultural and historical tradition. It is also one of the most developed cities in the entire United States of America, one of its few industrial hubs. Amarillo’s water supply comes from springs found within the Great Plains of Texas and the surrounding areas. The city uses many means of purification and filtering to ensure that the water they provide to their residents is safe for drinking. The water supplied to the residents is generally filtered through various means, such as reverse osmosis or ultraviolet radiation.

A large amount of the water that is distributed around the state of Texas goes through Amarillo’s water plant. It is here that the water is processed to make it safe to drink. The water plant undergoes regular maintenance, such as cleaning out all of the various impurities that may be in the system and having the water tested regularly. The testing is usually done on an annual basis to ensure that the contaminants present in the water are kept at bay while the water quality is maintained at its highest standards.

Many of the contaminants found in the water can be dangerous to humans if too much of them are consumed. Those who have a pre-existing condition such as diabetes or lung disease should not drink tap water because it can cause problems to those specific health conditions. Amarillo is the name of a town located in the Eagle Pass area of Texas for those who may not be aware. Suppose you live anywhere near the lakes, rivers, or streams in that area and are concerned about your region’s water quality. In that case, you should check with your local water provider to find out what exactly you can do to ensure that your water is free of contaminants.

Amarillo Water Quality

Amarillo Water Quality is a significant concern for those who live in and around Amarillo. The city of Amarillo is located in the middle of Texas, right on the Gulf of Mexico. All of the water that goes into Amarillo’s city is treated before it ever reaches its destination. This is one of the most critical aspects of the water quality of the area. The water from the Amarillo area is treated so that it can be used for everything from irrigation to drinking; it also serves as the source for all the towns in the area to receive water. Amarillo ensures that the water quality meets the standards through the use of ultraviolet light.

Ultraviolet light is something that is commonly used in many different types of industries. It is beneficial for shining ultraviolet light to clean dirt and other contaminants off surfaces. But in this case, the light is being used to kill bacteria and other things that are not visible to the naked eye. Ultraviolet light is made by using chemicals such as calcium and potassium. These chemicals react with the hydrogen in the water and turn it into a gas, which is then attracted to any microscopic particle in the water. This causes the tiny particles to be frozen, making them easy to remove by the ultra-violet light, ensuring that the water has the highest quality possible when used by everyone to live their lives.

Areas such as Amarillo also have a water treatment facility in place. This is used to rid the water of any leftover chemicals and other contaminants that may have gotten into the water in the past. However, it cannot detect all the pollutants present in the water, meaning that even if there are some good areas where the water quality is quite good, there are still likely areas where the quality is not very good. To combat this, the city will often take samples of the water that it processes and compare it to various maps posted around the city. By determining which areas have the best water quality, it is then up to the water treatment facility to ensure that they provide the best treatment available for its users.

Amarillo Water System

When looking for the most cost-effective water system in all of Texas, Amarillo is where you want to look. Several great water systems are available to Amarillo residents, and it will pay to do some research before you choose one. The first thing you will need to determine is what kind of filtration system you want and what contaminants you want to remove.

The best filtration systems will be a combination of carbon filtration, ion exchange, sub-micron filtration, and a re-mineralization step. These steps will clean the water and remove any toxins and chemical pollutants. The removal of toxins will help to improve the taste and quality of your drinking water. You can choose between a kitchen sink filtration system or one that will be placed in your shower head. If you are not a fan of running water from a faucet, you may want to consider a pitcher filtration system.

When choosing the right filtration system for your home, you need to consider where the system will be located and how often it will be used. For example, if you live in an area with high water pressure in the summer months, you will not want to use a system that will draw from a pump. In this case, you will want a system that is connected to a pressure tank. Portable units will be able to provide you with the necessary water pressure for your needs. Amarillo water systems are available from several companies and are very reasonably priced.

The oil and gas industry is very profitable for both companies and landowners alike. The water in the rural areas is not of the same quality as the treated drinking water because of the low population density in those rural areas.
