Del Mar College Effluent Water Connection Project

planned

Del Mar College is exploring the connection of its campus water system to the City of Corpus Christi's effluent line to use treated wastewater for non-potable purposes. This initiative aims to reduce the college's reliance on drinking water amid worsening drought conditions in the Coastal Bend region. The project could be implemented within six months to a year. The college is also considering drilling a water well at its Windward campus, though groundwater quality may limit this option. Additionally, water conservation measures such as drought-resistant landscaping and low-flow fixtures have been implemented.
