The City of Corpus Christi announced the delay of stage 3 water restrictions earlier today. Several factors have contributed to the delay including stable lake levels, changing weather patterns and logistical requirements for implementation of stage 3 measures. “Citizens should use the time to increase their water conservation efforts and prepare for additional restrictions,” said Gus Gonzalez, water operations director. “Summer temperatures usually translate into increased water usage which means the City could enter stage 3 restrictions at any time,” added Gonzalez.
