With Corpus Christi potentially facing Level 1 water restrictions, local officials are advising residents to regularly check their home water meters for any signs of leaks. By monitoring their water usage and addressing any issues, homeowners can save money on their monthly bills and help the city conserve precious water resources.

Why it matters

As drought conditions persist in the region, Corpus Christi may need to implement water restrictions to ensure adequate supply. By proactively checking for leaks, residents can do their part to reduce unnecessary water usage and avoid potential penalties or fines associated with exceeding allotted limits.

The details

Corpus Christi water meters are typically located in front of homes, allowing residents to easily monitor their usage. Officials recommend checking the meter monthly when bills arrive, as even a small leak can significantly increase consumption over time. If the meter shows any movement when all indoor water is turned off, it likely indicates a leak that should be addressed by contacting the city.
