CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas \u2014 The possible trigger date for a Level 1 water emergency in Corpus Christi has been moved from September to December.<\/p>\n
The City Council, however, tabled a final vote on an ordinance that would determine water use under a Level 1 water emergency. The vote has been pushed back to the next council meeting on June 2.<\/p>\n
District 3 Council Member Eric Cantu asked that the vote be delayed so the city can address concerns raised by the Apartment Owners Association.<\/p>\n
Under the proposed water use plan, apartments would be classified as commercial water users. Apartment owners want to be classified as residential.<\/p>\n
A spokesman for Corpus Christi Water told council members that apartments would actually get a better baseline under a commercial classification.<\/p>\n
Still, the council voted to put off a final decision pending a meeting tomorrow between the city and the Apartment Association.<\/p>\n
