City of Corpus Christi Proposition B (Charter Amendment: Industrial Water Drought Surcharge and Curtailment)
What does this measure do?
Supports: Public Infrastructure
Corpus Christi would end programs that let large industrial water users skip extra drought charges and water-saving rules, and after a five-year notice charge them at least $3 to $12 per 1,000 gallons during droughts. Big industrial users would share the burden of water shortages with residents.
