I applaud each of you for doing your part to conserve water.”
“Our Corpus Christi Water team members continue to work around the clock to produce and deliver high-quality water to our Coastal Bend region,” City Manager Peter Zanoni said. “We all need to do our part to conserve water and be mindful of the severe drought that is gripping our water resources. I urge the community to continue following our Stage 1 water use drought restrictions that I enacted a month ago with Mayor Guajardo and City Council's concurrence.”
