Corpus Christi moves toward mandatory 25 % cut in water use if emergency is declared
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Corpus Christi is moving towards implementing a mandatory 25% reduction in water usage for residents and businesses if a water emergency is declared. The City Council approved the initial plan with a 7-2 vote, anticipating a Level 1 emergency by September due to ongoing drought conditions. Under the proposed plan, residential water limits would decrease from 8,000 gallons to 6,000 gallons per month. The city is also developing an online portal for tracking water use and allowing vehicle washing with buckets. Additional fees may apply for exceeding water allocations, while federal and state users would be exempt from these surcharges.
