Corpus Christi, Texas, is set for some hard times. Officials have warned that the city is facing an “imminent” water emergency in months and, by 2027, will reach the catastrophic point where the city cannot deliver water to residents.
Residents place the blame on city leaders, with former CEO of the Port of Corpus Christi Authority Sean Strawbridge, criticizing “their lack of experience, their lack of knowledge, their lack of recognizing the risks”, singling out a “bumbling” failure to build the desalination plant that might have averted catastrophe.
