Colleen DeGuzman reports:
A yearslong drought and a recent boom of refineries, natural gas export terminals and other industrial facilities along Corpus Christi Bay has led the city to the edge of a historic water shortage.
Two of the city’s three main reservoirs have shrunk to below 10% of capacity and the city projects they could run dry by May. That led to city projections that it could reach a water emergency — when the water supply is projected to last just 180 days — as early as May, which would trigger drastic water reduction efforts. [emphasis added]
With the approval to keep pulling large amounts of water from Lake Texana and the permit to operate the four additional wells, the city has pushed that to at least July, Zanoni said Friday.
But Zanoni cautioned that water levels at Lake Texana are also dropping.
