Corpus Christi to begin talks on privately built desalinization plant
<p>A Texas city facing a water shortage is starting talks with a private company with to build a new desalination plant. The Houston-based company AXE H20 plans to produce 150 million gallons of drinking water daily, and Corpus Christi could pay $6.50 per 1,000 gallons. That's about 30% cheaper than a controversial plan to revive a proposal for a city-built desalination plant. The council voted 6-2 on Tuesday to explore this private venture. Corpus Christi is facing a severe drought, and the city could face a water crisis by September. The council is also considering other water projects.</p>
