Corpus Christi Water Confirms Superior Water Quality Rating Following State-Mandated Testing

Corpus Christi, TX – The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) completed one of its mandated water sampling tests for the City of Corpus Christi’s drinking water system. All results confirm that the City’s water distribution continues to meet and exceed state and federal standards, reaffirming Corpus Christi’s Superior Rated Public Water System status. 

The sampling covered treatment and testing for chemical contaminants, microbial indicators, and disinfectant residuals. All samples came in below state-regulated requirements. Testing also confirmed that arsenic levels were well below the maximum contaminant level of 0.01 milligrams per liter set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The safety of drinking water is the top priority. CCW continuously tests and monitors water quality every day to ensure the system meets and exceeds all regulatory requirements. 

CCW is required to publish an annual Water Quality Report that complies with EPA and TCEQ standards and provides extensive data on the water provided to our customers. This water quality report can be found online at corpuschristitx.gov under Water Quality Reports.
