Residents of Robstown are voicing concerns about the City of Corpus Christi's new water supply agreement with Nueces County Water Control Improvement District 3, despite acknowledging the need for relief from high total dissolve d solids in their water. Robstown neighbors react to new Corpus Christi water agreementChris Cuellar, a 15-year Robstown resident and member of the Nueces Groundwater Conservation District Committee, attended the Corpus Christi City Council meeting on Tuesday."What we oppose is the city's heavy-handedness and wanting to gain 5 million gallons of water rights because of what they have done to impact our water quality," Cuellar said.The agreement, finalized Tuesday, represents what Marco Alaniz, district manager of NCWCID #3, said was their only option to continue serving their 30,000 customers."When I say we drink from the same pot, we literally drink from the same water.
