Corpus Christi Water Temporarily Removes Mary Rhodes Pipeline for Leak Repairs

Corpus Christi Water Temporarily Removes Mary Rhodes Pipeline for Leak Repairs

Corpus Christi Water (CCW) has temporarily removed the Mary Rhodes Pipeline (MRP) from service due due to a detected leak. The leak is located near Highways 77 and 239, south of the San Antonio River, approximately halfway along the 101-mile pipeline. This pipeline is crucial as it transports water from Lake Texana to the O.N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant (ONSWTP). CCW crews and contractors are actively working to identify the full extent of the issue and have made progress in dewatering both the project site and the pipeline. Once the excavation around the 64-inch pipeline is safe to access, repair operations will commence. In the interim, CCW has increased water production from the Nueces Groundwater Wells and boosted water releases from the Wesley Seale Dam to ONSWTP to maintain water supply.
