CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas— Heavy rain in Corpus Christi has delayed efforts to lift a boil water advisory issued last week due to low chlorine disinfectant levels in supplies.
City officials on Tuesday extended the boil water advisory as testing continues on water supplies.
The Corpus Christi area has received more than a foot of rain since Sunday in storms that led to street flooding and high-water rescues.
A city statement says the rain complicated water sampling and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality required the boil water advisory to stay in effect.
Corpus Christi officials say no E.coli has been detected in the city's water supply.
