CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas \u2014 The Corpus Christi City Council has given final approval to a 30-year agreement that will supply recycled water from the Greenwood Wastewater Treatment Plant to Valero Refining.<\/p>\n
Under the terms of the agreement, Valero will receive up to 8 million gallons per day of recycled water for the company’s industrial operations. This reduces Valero’s demand on Corpus Christi residents’ drinking water supply.<\/p>\n
Valero will pay the city for both the water and treatment costs.<\/p>\n
The city council also gave preliminary approval to a 5-year reclaimed water supply agreement with Flint Hills Resources. That agreement covers the sale of up to 2 million gallons per day of reclaimed water from the Allison Wastewater Treatment Plant.<\/p>\n
The Flint Hills Resources agreement must still pass a second vote before final approval.<\/p>\n
