Drought increased the number of water line breaks in Corpus Christi from an average of three per day under normal circumstances to about thirty daily, due to drought, which causes the soil to shift and contract. Supply chain issues were also making it harder to get the materials needed to fix the water lines, according to the city manager, who noted that larger cities, like Houston, San Antonio and Dallas-Fort Worth, were also having the same problem.
