Corpus Christi, Texas, faces a severe water shortage threatening major refineries, potentially causing gasoline and jet fuel shortages across the state and beyond. With reservoirs at critically low levels due to drought, the city may declare a water emergency within two months, having only six months of supply left. Industry leaders and economists warn of potential fuel price spikes, job losses, and supply disruptions. Major players like Flint Hills Resources and ExxonMobil are implementing measures to secure alternative water sources and maintain operations, while local and state officials race against time to prevent a national energy crisis.
