I moved out of Corpus end of 2017. I could not leave fast enough! One of the most dysfunctional municipalities EVER! Thier mushandling of the e tire water situation was abisimial. The water quality was horrible! Constant water boils, contaminated tap water, flesh eating bacteria in the tap water, etc.
It’s so amazing to live in a “low tax, few regulations and everything cheap” state like Texas, until things like this start to happen. The whole state of Texas is in a nonstop building frenzy despite the fact that it is one of the states most vulnerable to droughts, extreme heat , and climate change (which it’s leaders deny is even happening). Good luck Texans!
my county has regulations like 1 well and a septic tank for 5 acres but developments got around it by building sewer systems and set up a water company.
Corpus city opens it arms for more residential houses and commercial building to get there taxes but not enough water to go around the bucket is only so big
That is because the city panders to construction and any other revenue that will line their greedy pockets, while the tax paying citizens foot the bill.
@@alejandrohernandez7340 why is that worse when he was granted a permit to build a plant..that’s not his fault that the city of corpus has a bunch of ignorant irresponsible people that govern the city..he could build this plant anywhere he wanted..if there was a problem…don’t blame someone else for the stupidity of others
You are so smart, just like me, of course, god is always going to make things work, these stupid scientists should shut up and, quit the fearmongering! it will be OK! Climate change is not real Fossil fuels are life it will rain like normal and this BS will be forgoten if Corpus Christi runs out of water, it will be cause they are a bunch of SINNERS and they deserve it
Another example of government kicking the can down the road while water supplies remain level and the population and water usage increase. Completely predictable.
Water management is mandatory in the 21st century - gone are the days when you could just run water all day to keep your lawn green. Just have to do better and hope for some precipitation.
Austin is the same way. "we'll be out of water by 2036" Well quit building concrete foundations, bringing in more people and watering the lawn to keep up with the Joneses
It's the refineries using up all the water, not the people. The people use just a small fraction compared to the refineries. The city offered special incentives to the new plants so they would open here, and one of those incentives was free water or very low cost and some got a special waterline ran directly to the refinery. The city managers greed caused this problem.
Don’t put restrictions. Find the number of gallons per month for the average person. Multiply that by six. Charge the normal rate up to that amount. Anything in excess of that charge at 4 times the rate. I bet people will look for ways to conserve.
No warnings will *ever* be heeded. 💪😎✌️ That's just how humanity rolls, baby. If you're rich, you win. If you ain't, then ya lose. It's as simple as that.
Hundreds of years ago, people used to move from water source to water source once they dried up. Our population is exploding, but the water sources aren't. What the hell do you think is going to happen?
Don't let facts get in your way. The "replacement birth rate" for a country to just hold even is 2.1 births per woman. America is currently at 1.6 so our population is not "exploding". They only thing that is keeping our country from shrinking is immigration. It's going to be funny watching the Republican party do a 180° turnaround on immigration when American corporations call the politicians and say "We have run out of workers!!! The boomers all retired and will NOT come back to work, and Gen Z is the smallest generation in HISTORY!!!".
it’s already liked that where water shortage is NOT a problem. Premium bottles water is at least more than 4$ per gallon at any store here on the East coast. No need for me to tell you gasoline prices
California's got more than enough water now, and has had for several years. Meanwhile, TX is having nothing but droughts, floods, fires, and tornadoes. No wonder those Texas Californios are moving back to CA in droves.
This has been going on for at least 4 plus years , we need different Mayor ,different council members! Call Governor Abbott to help yall figure this out. So stupid when yall charge up for every damn thing and can't figure out water issues. Smdh
Interesting how Texas is going through what cali was going through. California fixed what they were dumping on the environment. Cali started to be cleaner and using lots of things to become better for air pollution. Look at cali now. Looking good. I think Texas has missed the train.
Yup, that behemoth uses a lot of water. Also the steel place. All of em are slurppin it up and thanks to the greed of the city managers and advisors. The city promised them 6mil gals a day and gave them their own spigot. Corpus supplys all the water to the surrounding areas. The Mary Rhodes pipeline payed for by the people is now fully in business only use. No people get any of Mary's pipeline. The corporations are eating everything up thanks to the greedy city council.
@@williammattingly2260if the city would encourage people to water at night, it would be ok, better for the plants and less evaporation. Plus people shoukd be encouraged to take shorter showers, wash there clothes not on full water loads etc.
Not residents , city don't know how to manage shit especially being a issuefor more then 5 years! Check out Gabe Lozano golf course, they water about 3 pm and on for awhile , guess residents should go get water from them since they have so much to use......
Got to ask what Elon musk’s tunnel boring company was all about… amazing how water seems to be disappearing from places despite the expected amounts from rain/runoff
If they do the desal thing there will be 5 of them locally and the brine discharge may severely impact the local ecosystem. But the city leaders and news agencies don't care, they are corporations. While a corporation is lawfully considered a person, it does not have a heart.
I'm glad I don't live in corpus suck for them and I'm guessing I'm not going to lake for awhile time to go to Canyon Lake again or that lake near Victoria
The Earth, balances itself mainly by water ,that is 70% of the earth’s surface. When man move Billions of tons of soil with so called progress , water in areas will disappear , and then go to other areas that are out of balance. Mother Nature !
EVs do it...IMHO.. 300 miles p charge, 4$ public, 1.75? $ private portable level 2.. ? Pay DC fast network co.. some" per charge, some fill auto pay. 15$ tops.. low to 90%? Vs 30+$ ...1000$ month someone told me commuting w full size pickup truck.

Yea I’m sure having a warming climate has nothing to do with it…I forget Texans don’t believe in that stupid lib stuff…
All the new refineries are consuming it. Research it, you'd be shocked to learn how much the new refineries are using up the water. Because of greed.

Do you know how much water is being used for lawns and concrete foundations? But we have to look pretty for others so we'll all die of dehydration 😊
