Good morning, Corpus Christi.

The Salvation Army is collecting box fan donations in Corpus Christi to help seniors (and low-income families) stay cool during summer heat (as temperatures climb daily).

A continuously running toilet in a spare bathroom sent a Corpus Christi couple’s water bill to nearly $375 today; alerted by a courtesy call, they fixed the leak & requested a billing adjustment from the city.

City officials held the first of eight water sessions today at Seashore Learning Academy, where informative tables explained water projects and usage as residents asked questions and shared concerns.

Attendees left with plans to return for future sessions.

Last night, powerful storms blasted the Coastal Bend with winds nearing hurricane-force, leaving damage and thousands without power as restoration crews begin their work.

Yesterday, a powerful thunderstorm swept through Flour Bluff, snapping trees, damaging roofs, and cutting power for over 23,600 AEP customers; by 3 p.m., 2,900 still lacked electricity, with full service expected by 11 p.m.

Corpus Christi officials are advancing four seawater desalination projects to boost supply — a new Inner Harbor plant, potential water purchase from Corpus Christi Polymers, investment in Nueces River Authority plans, and a public-private project near the Barney Davis Power Plant — as shown in a video this morning.

Rockport Mayor Lowell Timothy Jayroe declared a water shortage emergency on May 11 as local water supplies, sourced from Corpus Christi, may face cuts by November; he coordinated with state & federal agencies to manage and conserve water resources.
