Although Lake Corpus Christi’s water volume has been inching toward 30% capacity, city officials have stressed that what are described as the Western reservoirs remain “critically low.”<\/p>\n

Lake Corpus Christi over the past week has risen again after recent rainfall<\/a> and now stands at nearly 26% capacity, said City Manager Peter Zanoni in a June 5 media briefing.<\/p>\n

That’s about an 8% difference over numbers reported in a briefing last week.<\/p>\n

Choke Canyon Reservoir’s water volume, however, remains virtually static \u2014 Zanoni reporting the reservoir at about 8% capacity.<\/p>\n

The combined capacity of the two water bodies now stands at about 13%, he said, much improved over the 8% measurement several weeks earlier.<\/p>\n

The city continues to draw about 70% of its supply from Lake Texana \u2014 now filled to 100% capacity \u2014 and the Lower Colorado River Authority, Zanoni said.<\/p>\n

It’s believed that the date of a water emergency has been pushed back into the first few months of 2027, he said, but a more firm projection incorporating the most recent rainfall will be available in the upcoming weeks.<\/p>\n

A water emergency is when the city has a projected six months before supply is unable to meet demand.<\/p>\n
