With limited options, Corpus Christi focuses on delaying – not avoiding – its looming water crisis
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Corpus Christi is facing a significant water crisis, with Lake Corpus Christi at only 11.8% capacity. After five years of extreme heat and limited rainfall, city leaders are looking for ways to delay the impending emergency rather than avoid it altogether. Options like a controversial desalination plant and new reservoirs are on the table but will take years to implement. In the meantime, mandatory water restrictions and higher fees for excessive use are being considered. Residents have expressed frustration over delayed decisions, while businesses are anxious about the potential economic impact of water limits. The City Council is expected to vote on emergency measures soon.
