Solid Waste Update

View this in your browser

City crews were unable to complete the collection of Solid Waste in Section E yesterday. While Mimosa, Maple, and Holt were collected for this section, the remaining streets will be picked up today, Friday, September 1. The service area for Section E is from the south side of Bellaire Blvd. to the southern City limit and from the west side of IH610 to S. Rice Ave.

Solid Waste Services are also scheduled for collection in Sections C and D (both inside the Loop) for today.

Please be aware that the City will be unable to collect storm related construction debris, appliances, furniture, etc. This type of storm related material will be collected by a Debris Management contractor as has been done in past storm and flooding events.

The City is presently working with this contractor to develop a schedule for this work and we will pass this information on to you as soon as it is available.

Update on Water and Wastewater Service

View this in your browser

Previous messages have asked residents to restrict the use of the city’s wastewater system. There is no longer a reason to restrict the use of toilets, dishwashers, washing machines, or showers. The wastewater plant has suffered some damage, and those repairs are being made now. Normal flows will not impede operations or repairs. The city’s water system has suffered no damage, and the water continues to be safe to drink. Your patience and cooperation during this time is greatly appreciated.

Recovery Process

View this in your browser

As our community begins to recover from Harvey, we would like to share with you of actions already underway:

Solid waste and Debris:
The City is hoping to resume trash pick-up by this Friday with the debris contractors in operation sometime next week. Flooded landfills and the inability of workers to arrive on site has hampered this service. If you do place items on the curb, please separate trash bags from debris.

Scams and scammers:
Unfortunately, in all disasters, nefarious people will use your misfortune or goodwill to fleece you out of material goods or money. If you want to donate money, be sure the company is legitimate and preferably local. Watch out for “GoFundMe” pages that appear to be real but there is no way to confirm the information. Please, don’t become a victim. This storm has created enough already.

Water and Wastewater:
The City’s water supply is safe to use! You are asked to be conservative in flushing until the waste water system has fully recovered. Yards have had plenty of rain, so please turn off your sprinkler systems.
