Update on Wesley Seale Dam and Groundwater Wells

Corpus Christi Water is responding to public concerns raised during a recent community meeting in Mathis about the Wesley Seale Dam project. Chief Operating Officer Drew Molly addressed speculation about newly drilled groundwater wells, clarifying that the wells are located about 30 miles away from the meeting site in Nueces County. He assured residents that the design of these wells is intended to minimize or eliminate any impact on nearby domestic wells. Additionally, no water has been released from Lake Corpus Christi since March 2023, even though prior releases were required for environmental purposes.
