City Statement: Regarding AXE H2O

The City of Corpus Christi extends its sincere appreciation to AXE H2O for their time, collaboration, and constructive engagement throughout our discussions regarding potential water supply solutions.
"The City of Corpus Christi leadership has expressed a preference for incremental and diversified water management strategies rather than a singular, anchored large-scale approach. Our privately financed model fundamentally requires a specific industrial framework, concentrated bulk demand, and long-term strategic planning to be viable as a commercial enterprise. Thus, we have concluded that the structural conditions necessary for our business model do not exist in the current Corpus Christi environment."
The City respects AXE H2O’s business model and its determination regarding these structural requirements. We appreciate their valuable insights as we continue to evaluate various avenues to secure a long-term, drought-resistant water supply.
Corpus Christi remains dedicated to a diversified, resilient water strategy that balances immediate regional needs with long-term sustainability. We thank AXE H2O for their efforts and wish them continued success.
