Mandatory Stage 3 Water Restrictions for August 2025

Stage 3 of Water Restrictions happens when the combined levels for the City of Corpus Christi's primary western water sources (Lake Corpus Christi and Choke Canyon Reservoirs) are at 19.9% capacity.

"Under Section 5 of the City's Drought Contingency Plan, the authority to declare Stage 3 water restrictions lies with the City Manager when combined lake levels drop below 20%," stated city officials. Stage 3 will stay in effect until the combined levels are above 30%.
