The city of Corpus Christi is selling rain barrels like hot cakes these days. <\/p>\n

According to Corpus Christi Water’s Public Relations Specialist Judy Lapointe, Corpus Christi residents purchased 96 rain barrels in February 2026.<\/p>\n

In March, the city sold 456 barrels.<\/p>\n

NEED A RAIN BARREL? KRIS 6 has a look at how easy it is to buy and set up a rain barrel<\/p>\n

With the City of Corpus Christi asking residents to save more water, many of you are calling our newsroom and asking “how can I buy one?”<\/p>\n

So, instead of just telling you, we decided to pack up our gear and show you.<\/p>\n

Our first stop was at the Central Cashiering Department at Corpus Christi City Hall to purchase the 55-gallon barrel and our second stop was at the City’s Warehouse 6 on Civitan Drive behind Corpus Christi Animal Care Services where we picked it up.<\/p>\n

The warehouse is open Monday through Friday from 8:30am to noon and then from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.<\/p>\n
