Ahead of the San Patricio County Groundwater Conservation District’s (SPCGCD) public hearing scheduled for February 6, the City of Corpus Christi anticipates the board will take no action to approve or deny drilling and transport permits for the Evangeline Groundwater Project. The City of Sinton, the St. Paul Water Supply Corporation, a Sinton farmer, a Sinton resident, and a Corpus Christi resident have filed permit protests. However, since filing, the Sinton resident has withdrawn their protest.

A cold front will push through late tonight into Friday morning, dropping temperatures to near freezing Friday night. Strong north winds will create hazardous marine conditions through Saturday.
