About Seawater Desalination

The City’s Inner Harbor Water Treatment Campus will be located at the intersection of Nueces Bay Boulevard and West Broadway Street. 

 

Seawater desalination is a proven solution that will relieve water scarcity for Corpus Christi Water customers across seven counties of the Coastal Bend. World-renowned experts continue working with Corpus Christi Water to ensure seawater intake and return flow are handled in an environmentally responsible manner.

City of Corpus Christi | Inside City Hall Ep.1 Chief Operating Officer of CCW, Drew Molly, and Coastal Biologist, Dave Buzan, join our host, Rachel Esses to discuss the Inner Harbor Water Treatment Campus - the City's seawater desalination facility. Currently in the design phase, the IHWTC is expected to be operational by the summer of 2028. With the construction of the IHWTC, Corpus Christi is leading Texas in its drought response. Drought conditions have been a concern historically for the state, with many extended dry periods on record. Seawater desalination offers an additional water source that is stable in all weather conditions, including the most serious drought.
