Editing Corpus Christi, Texas (section)

===Water===
Drinking water for the city is supplied by three reservoirs, [[Lake Corpus Christi]], the [[Choke Canyon Reservoir]], and [[Lake Texana]]. Through an effective regional partnership with the [[Nueces River]] Authority and the Port of Corpus Christi Authority, a {{convert|101|mi|km|adj=on|abbr=on}} pipeline was built which transports water from Lake Texana to the city's O.N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant. It was named the Mary Rhodes Pipeline, after the late mayor. Phase two of the pipeline is underway to draw water from the Colorado River.<ref>{{cite web|title=Mary Rhodes Pipeline Phase 2 Project Fact Sheet|url=http://www.engineercc.com/library/pdf/MaryRhodes_Pipeline_Ph2_FactSheet.pdf|access-date=15 August 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150929192932/http://www.engineercc.com/library/pdf/MaryRhodes_Pipeline_Ph2_FactSheet.pdf|archive-date=2015-09-29|url-status=dead}}</ref> All reservoirs are outside the city limits, but Lake Corpus Christi and Choke Canyon Reservoir are managed directly by the public utility of the City of Corpus Christi. To support future water needs, plans are being completed to build a desalinization plant.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.texasdesal.com/news-updates/item/411-corpus-christi-moving-nearer-construction-of-desalination-plant.html|title=CORPUS CHRISTI MOVING NEARER CONSTRUCTION OF DESALINATION PLANT|access-date=16 August 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150930063231/http://www.texasdesal.com/news-updates/item/411-corpus-christi-moving-nearer-construction-of-desalination-plant.html|archive-date=30 September 2015}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Baddour |first=Dylan |date=2022-10-29 |title=Black residents in Corpus Christi file a civil rights complaint to stop Texas' first desalination plant |url=https://www.texastribune.org/2022/10/29/texas-corpus-christi-hillcrest-desalination-plant/ |access-date=2022-11-04 |work=The Texas Tribune |language=en |agency=Inside Climate News}}</ref>{{r|AT 2022-11-04}}
