The city manager previously said they’re committed to providing the public updates to safeguard the region’s water supply.
The situation has drawn direct attention from the state, with Gov. Greg Abbott ordering agencies to expedite emergency water permits and warning that Texas will step in if local action is insufficient.
State officials say they are already boosting short-term supply by expanding access to Nueces River groundwater and adjusting regional drought triggers.
Longer-term projects include funding for local wells, pipeline upgrades, and the city’s planned desalination plant, with billions in state investment to ensure water security for the region.
