CCASRCD Regular Meeting June 26, 2026 | City of Corpus Christi

The City of Corpus Christi's Aquifer Storage and Recovery Conservation District held a regular meeting on June 26, 2026, focusing primarily on groundwater well permits and related hydrological concerns. Public comments raised issues about the accuracy of hydrology reports, potential subsidence, water quality, and the impact of new well drilling on local water resources. The board received a detailed update from Corpus Christi Water (CCW) on the western wellfield operations, including monitoring efforts, well development, and water production data. Discussions emphasized the need for continuous data collection, improved monitoring, and transparent reporting to ensure sustainable groundwater management. The board reviewed and approved well permits for the Corpus Christi Independent School District and considered applications for the western wellfield extension. Motions were passed to form a committee to oversee wellfield operations, hire outside counsel for contested permit hearings, and approve temporary drilling permits with conditions. The meeting underscored the importance of updated groundwater modeling and monitoring to balance emergency water supply needs with long-term sustainability.
