· KRGV (NBC 5)
Corpus Christi is moving towards implementing a mandatory 25% reduction in water usage if a water emergency is declared, expected by September due to ongoing drought conditions. The City Council approved a water curtailment plan with a 7-2 vote, which sets limits for various users, including residents and large industries. Under the plan, residential water allotment would decrease from 8,000 to 6,000 gallons per month during an emergency. The council will finalize the plan on May 19. The city is also developing an online portal for residents to monitor their water usage as it faces historic low reservoir levels.
