Thursday afternoon was a wet day for part of downtown Corpus Christi, but it wasn't because of rain. A water main broke near Starr Street and Lower Broadway. It caused water to gush down the curbs in that area.  Work crews told Kiii News that many of the pipes below downtown streets are old, some dating back to 1910. Hot, dry weather and old pipes can be a recipe for gushers like this one.

Poll

The Corpus Christi City Council has voted to negotiate with the National Swim Center to replace the Coliseum. Do you agree?

  • Yes.
  • No. Just demolish the building.
  • No. Rennovate it and use as a public venue, as it has been.
  • I liked the Brass/Ice Skating Rink idea.
