Corpus Christi Desalination Plant Deal Collapses
CC Polymers has rejected Corpus Christi's proposal to acquire its idle desalination plant. The city faces a water supply challenge as it approaches a Level 1 Water Emergency. Other water projects, like wastewater reuse and the Barney Davis plant, are being explored.
CC Polymers has declined to sell its desalination facility to Corpus Christi, citing operational priorities. The city's water emergency is pressing, with potential solutions including wastewater reuse and the Barney Davis plant. The desalination plant, if upgraded, could produce 31.5 MGD, but its acquisition was complicated by shared ownership among three companies. Council members highlight the need for alternative solutions to address the city's water supply needs.
