ISSUE:
City staff will conduct a workshop for the Mayor and Council Members that covers seawater desalination.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Corpus Christi is the regional water supplier for the Coastal Bend which includes a customer
base made of municipal, industrial, institutional, and commercial customers. After the 2011 drought of
record, a group was formed to investigate potential sources for an uninterruptible water supply as a new
water source for this area. The City of Corpus Christi Seawater Desalination Project began from this
investigation. A key feature of the project is the production of potable water, which allows utilization of
the existing potable water distribution system. The project would produce public drinking water for the
benefit of all customers.
On Wednesday, July 21, 2021, Water Utilities staff will host the Mayor and City Council Members for a
workshop covering seawater desalination. The workshop will provide an opportunity for open discussion.
