City Adding Colorado River Water to Corpus Christi Water Blend

Noticeable Changes in Residents’ Water Not Expected

CORPUS CHRISTI, TX – Beginning Monday, May 9, Water Utilities will be adding water from the Colorado River to its water blend. This water will reach customers’ homes beginning Wednesday, May 11.

After experiencing poor tasting water due to freezing weather temperatures in January, Water Utilities is now notifying customers when changing water sources. The City does not expect any noticeable changes in residents’ water quality.

The Colorado River is one of four water sources (Colorado River, Lake Texana, Lake Corpus Christi, and Choke Canyon) for Corpus Christi Water. This water blend will be utilized regularly moving forward and used monthly for a minimum of three days.
