Corpus Christi has downgraded its drought restrictions from Stage 3 to Stage 2. This change allows residents to water their lawns again, ending a nearly 18-month total ban. The ban was initially put in place due to the city's critically low water supply.

The decision to downgrade the restrictions was made possible by increased water flows from Texas. This turnaround has brought relief to residents who can now tend to their lawns. Further details on the downgraded drought restrictions and their implications can be found in the Waco Tribune-Herald.
