"A news release from the city stated the chemical is Indulin AA-86, an asphalt emulsifier. Three to 24 gallons of the chemical possibly entered the city's water after an incident in the Corpus Christi industrial district... A lot of schools and businesses are closed today," Kastelic told CNN Thursday morning.

"Many grocery stores sold out of water last night and early this morning but emergency shipments of water just arrived at some local H-E-B locations," he added, referring to a Texas chain of grocery stores. "People (are) waiting in aisles with their grocery carts ready for them to put out the new water shipments."

Who owns Valero?

Corpus Christi turned off tap water earlier this year, due to a city water dept problem.

I suspect that they are overreacting to avoid any taint with the earlier events.

LMAO!!! The landsharks jumped all over this one. Valero has zero to do with the water contamination other than their employees spotted it. Three "boil warnings" this year puts Corpus Christi up with Flint for bad water and crooked politicians.
The real story is how "scalpers" rushed out to buy up all the bottled water (truck loads) for resale. Now they're stuck with hundreds of gallons of water so you can figure out where the butthurt and the lawyers come from.
