What happened

Well supportedReported by 6 independent outlets

Corpus Christi is managing operational issues, including earthy tastes and smells in the tap water, which are being addressed through system maintenance and increased production from Nueces County groundwater wells. The city council has been actively pursuing water supply diversification by utilizing Lake Texana and drilling wells in Nueces County. Furthermore, the city is evaluating large-scale projects, including a potential billion-dollar desalination plant, though its approval process has faced delays and setbacks.
