Phone Bank With Us To Demand a Better Drought Contingency Plan
Recently, Corpus Christi City Council members informed us that over 130 emails sent to them by residents were NOT received, without a clear answer to how correspondence between residents and council members completely disappeared. Sign up to have a TCE organizer provide you with all the guidance needed to make your call, and have a little chat with your public officials.
The Drought Contingency Plan is an 80-page policy that sets the different drought stages, their restrictions and their penalties. Drought contingency plans are required by the state and need to be renewed via a city ordinance every five years. We’re currently operating under the DCP approved in October of 2018, making our new DCP over a year late.
Residents of Corpus Christi have already mobilized, swarming Council chambers with public comments, and flooding their emails with messages demanding that the DCP be amended to remove harsh penalties on residents for water use, while allowing high volume water users to pay a fee to be exempt from the same water restrictions.
