Some customers may notice a stronger "rotten egg" smell than usual, especially when turning on appliances such as a gas stove or heater for the first time. Odorant may be more potent due to increased demand and operational adjustments during colder weather. If you detect a strong, persistent gas odor, leave the area immediately and call CCGAS Dispatch at 361-885-6942. In an emergency, call 911 from a safe location.

The City’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is actively monitoring the tropical disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico. City departments have been ready to respond if necessary.

Heavy rains and high winds are expected along the Texas coast by early Tuesday morning.

Please be cautious during your morning commute and expect the possibility of wet and stormy conditions. This rainfall could lead to areas of flash and urban flooding.
During inclement weather, we want our community to be safe. If you must get out in these conditions, remember:
* Drive slower than usual so you have time to react to other traffic on the roadway.
* Turn on your headlights so you are visible to other vehicles and pedestrians.
* Be aware of possible flooding in low-lying areas.
* If you must be on the road, be aware and find an alternative route.
* While driving, any time you come to a flooded road, Turn Around. Don’t Drown.

The City Offers Free Pilot Lighting Service for Seniors 65+

The City of Corpus Christi’s Gas Department is offering a free service to some customers to assist with pilot lighting.

As part of the program, citizens 65 years and older, are eligible to receive a visit from a technician to light one appliance a year. Residents can call 311 to schedule an appointment. The service is available throughout the year but experiences a higher number of requests during the colder months.

Pilot lighting is for residential heating systems with a gas pilot light, not an electronic ignition.
