Harvey Flood Response Update
Centerpoint energy is not responding to power outages at this time due the catastrophic flood conditions.
The City’s public safety rescue personnel will continue to prioritize rescues based on Life-threatening emergencies. Please use 9-1-1 only for emergencies.
The level of water continues to rise and we are expected to continue to get heavy bands of rain through Wednesday of this week.
Our message is still the same from this earlier this afternoon:
Water and sewer services. At this time the City’s sewer treatment plant is operating beyond capacity. Please limit your sewer discharge including toilets, washing machines, showers, dishwashers, etc. To avoid unnecessary additional damage to your property do not use bathroom or other facilities which may be located above the first floor of any building which may lead to sewage back-up.
Also, at this time the potable water supply system remains intact and the water is safe to drink. It is unlikely that the safe condition of the water will change unless a prolonged power outage of 48 hours or longer is experienced.
The EOC command staff is distributing important information as it becomes available, online and through the Notify Me e-mail system. Please consult the City website, www.bellairetx.gov, for announcements.
The best way to help the City of Bellaire is to call the American Red Cross at 1-800-733-2767.
