Environmental concerns in Lubbock area
Texas summers can be hot and Lubbock averages about 94 degrees in warmer months. Shifting to hotter weather can also indicate a higher risk for tornados from April through June. Lubbock is within Tornado Alley, and its most catastrophic tornado to date was in 1970 when an F5 hit the city. No public tornado shelters exist within Lubbock, but residents are encouraged to register their basements and shelters on the city's website. While drinking the water is safe, it is disinfected with chloramine, a combination of chlorine and ammonia, which can cause the water to taste bitter or metallic. Stormwater pollution can cause sewer overflows and impurities in the drinking water. The city has some solutions for homeowners that can mitigate this issue, such as not overwatering lawns, using less fertilizer and pesticides and using a rain barrel.
