Amarillo checks in with some of the best water in the state

Amarillo is moving into the 21st century when it comes to tracking your water usage.

Are you ever curious about something and when you go to find out the answer you get something more amazing than you would have ever thought?

The City of Amarillo Utility Billing Mobile Unit (that's a mouth full) exists to do one thing, and one thing only; strive to make paying your bill easier.

Amarillo doesn't seem like the place that you would really go out and start looking for pelicans. They are really not native to the Amarillo area. I love Amarillo and all but pelicans don't naturally decide Amarillo is the place to hang out.

We do laundry every week. Sometimes we do laundry multiple times a week It really all depends on your household and how many people you have living with you. You may sort your clothes in whites, lights and dark clothes. You may do a whole load of towels.

The City of Amarillo is upgrading a system that has been making people cringe for years.

I am probably the guiltiest when it comes to this. How many old and previously used water bottles do you have around your house? How about in your car? I use one of those plastic water bottles you but in the store and then I reuse.

Time and time again I have this conversation with a friend. We discuss how we need to be drinking more water. A co-worker of mine yesterday was feeling shaky. I got him a bottle of water and he perked right up.

The Utility Billing Mobile Unit gets a new home, and we're wondering what Mobile Units the city should make next.

We have experience in this now, so let's start planning ahead.
