About Our Local Water Supply
San Patricio Municipal Water District (SPMWD)
The SPMWD obtains its water supply from the Choke Canyon/Lake Corpus Christi Reservoir System within the River Basin. These reservoirs are fed by the Nueces, Frio, and Atascosa Rivers. The upper reaches of these rivers flow through the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone. During periods of low flow, most of the river flow north of the aquifer is captured by the aquifer, excluding the northern portion of the basin from the reservoir’s watershed.
Important Information For Our Water Customers
Public Water Systems are required by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to collect and submit chemical samples of the water provided to their customers and report the results of those samples to the TCEQ.
The City of Ingleside does provide all customers with an Annual Water Quality Report.
