Water from the Corpus Christi water supply is safe to drink. We recognize that it is your personal choice to purchase water purification devices, they have been known to cause problems in the quality of drinking water due to the lack of proper filter replacement. These devices are not tested or regulated by the state or federal government. Corpus Christi uses chlorine to disinfect our drinking water. Chlorine is used in municipal water treatment since 1908 and is the most effective way to ensure that water stays disinfected as it travels through water delivery systems.
Chlorine prevents water-borne epidemics such as cholera, typhoid, and hepatitis.
