Officials in Corpus Christi expect a “water emergency” within months and fully run out of water next year. That would halt jet fuel supplies to Texas airports, fuel a surge in gasoline prices and trigger an “economic disaster” without precedent, former officials said.

My takeaway from this article:

The city manager makes $400k/year.

If our leaders want to live an upper-class lifestyle, they need to deliver stability to the middle-class. Dude, you don't get paid to sit on your ass. Work this shit out, water is fucking important.
