Corpus Christi restaurants adapt as city water develops a funky taste

Restaurants in Corpus Christi, Texas, are adapting their operations as the city's tap water has developed an unpleasant taste, described by some as dirt or soap, over the past few days. Although city officials have stated the water is safe to drink and use, establishments like Southern Charm and HiHo are boiling water for beverages, purchasing extra bottled water, and offering canned sodas to customers as alternatives. Business owners express frustration over the lack of official communication regarding the cause of the water quality issue.
