Stage 2 drought restrictions took effect in Corpus Christi on March 12. Corpus Christi Caller Times (Texas), March 12, 2024 Corpus Christi’s combined water storage has dropped below 30%, which is the threshold for Stage 2 moderate water restrictions. Rain chances for next week led the city to postpone moving to Stage 2 restrictions. KIII TV (Corpus Christi, Texas), Jan 18, 2024 Corpus Christi remained in stage one drought restrictions. The city’s lake levels were just below 32%, and the trigger for stage two is 30%. People needed to continue to conserve because December, January and February are the driest months of the year for the region.
