CORPUS CHRISTI (News Release) - The City of Corpus Christi and public water systems throughout North America are recognizing the American Water Works Association’s Drinking Water Week, May 2 – 8. Kicking off the week with a proclamation, Mayor Paulette Guajardo has distinguished the vital role that public drinking water delivers throughout our community.
City staff is observing Drinking Water Week by sharing information about the critical aspect that our tap water has in citizen’s everyday lives and the meaningful role water professionals hold for the City.
