Three reasons why the City of Corpus Christi should approach the Harbor Island option contract with extreme caution Hi Councilmembers,today I am going to give three reasons why the City should approach the Harbor Island option contract with extreme caution. 1. Impact to Ratepayers. The first reason is that it is expensive. The NRA refused to cap the price of water at $15 per thousand gallons, which means it could cost more. But even at that rate,the annual expense for water would be huge,over$250 million a year,that's two and a half times the annual cost for the Inner Harbor. So,what is the impact on our water bills? I think that's something we should know before spending ratepayer dollars. 2. No Environmental Review. Reason number two is pretty easy, it's because the environmental review has not been completed yet. Harbor Island's outfall is located near a major fish pass and it could be harmful to wildlife. Without the review,we shouldn't be spending ratepayer dollars. 3. Too Much Water. Okay and the third reason is because, in my opinion,this is too much water. Over the past 20 years,water use in the Coastal Bend has remained mostly flat. Which is incredible because our population has grown by 40,000 people in Nueces county alone. However, over the next 20 years, the population is only projected to grow by about 21,000 people for Nueces county and San Patricio county combined. And that's according to State demographers with the Texas Water Development Board. Now,why that is important is because we can use it to determine how much more water we'll need over the next twenty years. And you can do that by using something called GPCD or gallons per capita per day. It's basically how much water we use in the City for commercial businesses,churches, and at home, but per resident. So for example,the GPCD for Corpus in 2023 was 109 gallons per person per day for all municipal use except for industry. So when you put that together,the increased water demands from residential growth is only 2 MGD by 2030 and 3.5 MGD by 2040,which is much less than 50 million gallons per day. So it begs the question, who is this water for? Is it for industry in San Pat? Because if it is,then they should be signing the contract, not us. I believe the plans we have in place right now are more than enough to meet our water needs for the next 20 years. And if it isn't, I would like to see a detailed explanation of what the anticipated needs are before signing on to a major project like this.

Using the table below select the types of Best Management Practices or water conservation and reuse strategies actively administered during this reporting period and estimate the savings incurred in implementing water conservation and reuse activities and programs. Leave fields blank if unknown. Please separate reuse volumes from gallons saved. Methods and techniques for determining gallons saved are unique to each utility as they conduct internal cost analyses and long-term financial planning. Texas Best Management Practice can be found at TWDB's Water Conservation Best Management Practices webpage. The Alliance for Efficiency Water Conservation Tracking Tool may offer guidance on determining and calculating savings for individual BMPs.

Comments or Explanations Regarding Data Entered in Sections Above. Files to support or explain this may be attached below. The City of Corpus added additional staff to the water sources team,which manages the water conservation program. With the added staff, we have been able to do more public outreach and educate about water conservation. We increased the amount of rain barrels sold, as well as given away more educational material to kids and young adults. One of the popular item was a 5 minute shower timer. which approximately 400 were given out. Public feedback has been positive, and the idea of implementing a 5 minute shower, specially for kids,was favorable. The City also implemented a new water reuse program that anyone with a registered water truck may purchase reuse water from one of our wastewater treatment plant for construction purposes. We also issued watering restrictions due to drought and limited the outside watering to once a week since June 2022 and most recently to over other week since March 2024. All of these initiatives have resulted in water conservation.
