Forecasts still anticipate heavy rain, sustained winds and wind gusts, potentially leading to localized flooding. Out of an abundance of caution, City services and facilities will be modified on Monday, July 8. What this means:

  • All City facilities will be closed and normal operations suspended.
  • The Recreation Center and Community Building will be closed. All programs, classes, and camps have been suspended. 
  • Solid waste, recycling, and yard waste collection has been suspended for Monday. Please treat this as a Monday holiday schedule:
    • Monday’s yard waste and recycling will be picked up on Wednesday.
    • Monday’s trash will be picked up on Thursday during your regularly scheduled day.
  • Emergency services will continue. Please only call 9-1-1 for emergencies.
  • Non-emergencies can be reported by calling 713-668-0330. 
  • Monday's City Council Meeting and Urban Planning Workshop has been postponed. 

Residents are encouraged to make their final preparations this evening.
