CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Lake Corpus Christi has fallen to just over 10% capacity, and city officials warn it could drop below that threshold for the first time ever this week.
One potential new water source is the Western Well Field, a project that could provide the city up to 15 million gallons of water per day. Zanoni met with me Monday to explain how crucial the project is ahead of meetings with the mayor and council members this week.
"We're going to show them three scenarios. We had been just showing them one, which is the most optimistic, but we'll show them a worst case scenario if we can't bring on any more water from our Nueces wells into the river," Zanoni said.
