CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS â Many homeowners and families in Corpus Christi are experiencing the toll of low water pressure. This can also present several challenges to first responders with the Corpus Christi Fire Department when tackling emergencies.
Fire crews say this isnât the first time they had to respond to situations with low water pressure.
Firefighters say their trucks can hold hundreds of gallons of water, and if need be, crews can use fire hydrants as a source.
âLow water pressure is a significant challenge for us because what that means is less water comes out of the fire hydrant,â said CCFD battalion chief Jim DeVisser.
