Corpus Christi - Stage 1 Water Restrictions to Begin

 

City of Corpus Christi

CORPUS CHRISTI (News Release) – Corpus Christi Water Chief Operations Officer Michael Murphy announced that citations for violations of Stage 1 Water Restrictions begin Monday, July 25. The City of Corpus Christi has been under Stage 1 Water Restrictions since June 14.

During Stage 1 Water Restrictions, watering with an irrigation system or sprinklers is allowed once a week on residents’ trash day. On that day, no watering is permitted between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.

A citation will be issued if watering outside allotted days and times is observed. The citation is a Class C misdemeanor and could result in a fine of up to $500 per violation per day.

“The drought impacting our region shows no sign of relenting,” City Manager Peter Zanoni said. “This is a serious situation, and we need everyone in the community to conserve water. The City will enforce watering rules during the week and on nights and weekends. To avoid a citation, only water on your trash day.”
