The Corpus Christi Public Works Department will offer residents free pre-filled sandbags at two upcoming events.
The first event will occur on Saturday, June 13, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. (or until all sandbags have been distributed). Residents can pick up sandbags at Cabiness Athletic Complex (3061 Saratoga Boulevard).
The second event, also at the Cabiness Athletic Complex, will take place on Saturday, June 27, from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. (or until all bags have been distributed).
The right, eastbound lane of Saratoga Boulevard between Ayers Street and Kostoryz Road is reserved for the events. Residents will not be able to make a U-turn from the westbound lane of Saratoga Boulevard to enter the line.
Residents will receive a maximum of eight free sandbags per vehicle. Drivers are asked to have a clear area in the trunk or bed of their vehicle to store the sandbags. Drivers and passengers must remain inside their cars while sandbags are loaded.
