The pump removes 250 gallons of water in 5 minutes, so in 1 minute it removes 250/5 = <<250/5=50>>50 gallons of water.

Therefore, the change in the amount of water in 1 minute is 50 gallons. Answer: \boxed{50}.

To find the change in the amount of water in 1 minute, we can divide the amount of water removed in 5 minutes (250 gallons) by the number of minutes (5):

Change in the amount of water in 1 minute = Amount of water removed in 5 minutes / Number of minutes

Change in the amount of water in 1 minute = 250 gallons / 5 minutes

Change in the amount of water in 1 minute = 50 gallons

Therefore, the change in the amount of water in 1 minute is 50 gallons.
