The City of Corpus Christi Water Department's Water Quality Team understands the importance of safe drinking water for the health and well-being of our customers and strives to achieve aesthetically pleasing water. Aesthetics, which include color, taste, and odor, are influenced by our water's quality. Our source waters' natural state, weather related events, drops in pressure within the distribution system, and internal plumbing issues all can affect the aesthetics of the water delivered to your home. These constituents usually do not present any health risks but can result in an unpleasant look, taste, or odor in your water. In some situations, internal plumbing issues may pose a health risk and it is important to address those issues promptly. The following guide addresses common water quality concerns with suggested causes and solutions in regards to the aforementioned events.
