Odessa officials report 1.18 inches of rain versus a normal 4.41 inches for this period while 350 trees including Eldarica Pine and willows are maintained.

City parks use about 54,000 gallons weekly to keep turf green, with a $550,000 water budget and higher irrigation as soccer and baseball drive demand.
