As drought deepens, some have wondered: Exactly how much water does Corpus Christi use?<\/p>\n

City officials have charted those trends over time in graphs covering the years 2021 through 2025. The data was unveiled during discussions on plans to respond to a potential water emergency.<\/p>\n

In the most recent presentation, graphs showed average residential use dropping from highs of about 7,000 gallons of water per month to highs below 5,000 gallons per month.<\/p>\n

Commercial businesses using a three-quarter-inch meters also saw a decline in usage, from highs of about 7,500 gallons of water per month to highs of about 6,500 gallons per month.<\/p>\n

Although industrial companies also follow drought restrictions, usage has remained primarily the same \u2014 all companies combined, about 1 million gallons per month, the charts showed.<\/p>\n
