If you are experiencing low water pressure or no water at all, you are not alone. Some cities have issued boil water notices and others have had to shut off water service.
Here are what officials are saying:
Anahuac
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality is requiring the city of Anahuac public water system to issue a boil water notice to all residents prior to consumption.
Bellaire
The City of Bellaire says the low temperature is causing multiple frozen waterlines. Most of the freezing has occurred within the smaller pipes from the street to your home.
The City of Bellaire released a statement saying, “Water pressure with the City of Bellaire main water system is within normal levels. All fire hydrants tested so far have water available and are working as they should.”
You may experience low water pressure in your home today and into the evening. The City of Bellaire is asking people to do their best to conserve water and that the water is safe to drink right now.
Deer Park
The City of Deer Park has had to turn off (stop) water supply to our water customers in order to make emergency repairs and at the same time preserve fire protection capabilities within the community. During this process, residential and commercial water customers may have intermittent water; however, this water must be boiled prior to human consumption. A boil water order is now in effect for the City of Deer Park until further notice.

Houston
Officials at Houston Public Works said the city’s water and wastewater systems are operating at “emergency pressure levels” and there is low water pressure across the entire system. They urged people to only use water for health and safety reasons.
The City of Houston is advising people NOT try to drip the water to keep it from freezing. They advise people to turn the water off on the house side and drain those pipes to avoid bursting pipes.
Jersey Village
Due to reduced distribution system pressure, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has required the Jersey Village public water system to notify all customers to boil their water prior to consumption (e.g., washing hands/face, brushing teeth, drinking, etc). Children, seniors, and persons with weakened immune systems are particularly vulnerable to harmful bacteria, and all customers should follow these directions).
To ensure the destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water for drinking, cooking, and ice making should be boiled and cooled prior to use for drinking water or human consumption purposes. The water should be brought to a vigorous rolling boil and then boiled for two minutes.
In lieu of boiling, individuals may purchase bottled water or obtain water from some other suitable source for drinking water or human consumption purposes.
When it is no longer necessary to boil the water, the public water system officials will notify customers that the water is safe for drinking water or human consumption purposes.
Once the boil water notice is no longer in effect, the public water system will issue a notice to customers that rescinds the boil water notice in a manner similar to this notice.
Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.
If you have questions concerning this matter, you may contact Harry Ward at hward@jerseyvillagetx.com, or 713-466-2107 or Roel Garcia at rgarcia@jerseyvillagetx.com.

The City of Katy is notifying all Katy residents (as required by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, TCEQ) to boil their water prior to consumption. Children, seniors, and persons with weakened immune systems are particularly vulnerable to harmful bacteria and all customers should follow these directions.
To ensure the destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water for drinking, cooking, and ice making should be boiled and cooled prior to use for drinking water or human consumption purposes. The water should be brought to a vigorous boil and then boiled for two minutes.

Missouri City
Missouri City officials released a statement giving pointers to prevent frozen pipes that may burst, saying they recommend turning on multiple faucets for a few minutes every hour and to flush toilets every hour, among other recommendations.
Pasadena
The city of Houston’s Southeast Water Purification Plant, which provides, water to the city of Pasadena, is experiencing low line pressure due to extremely low temperatures. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality is requiring residents to boil their water prior to consumption.
When it is no longer necessary to boil the water, TCEQ will notify the city that the water is safe for consumption.
Pearland
Due to extremely low temperatures and massive power outages, low water pressure at the Shadow Creek Ranks Water Production facility and loss of power at the Alice Warer Production facility has led to a water boil notice in the city of Pearland.
The city’s public water system is required to notify all residents in the city limits to boil water prior to consumption to destroy potentially harmful bacteria and other microbes in water for drinking, cooking and ice making.
Once the boil water notice is no longer in effect, the City of Pearland water system will issue a notice to customers that rescind the boil water notice in a manner like this notice, according to a release.
Seabrook
Out of an abundance of caution, we are asking residents to boil water prior to drinking and cooking. While the City of Seabrook water pressure has remained at minimum pressures and chlorine residuals are within safe ranges as required by TCEQ, the City of Pasadena has issued a boil water notice this evening, therefore, the City of Seabrook believes it is in the best interest of our water customers to do the same. The water should be brought to a vigorous, rolling boil for two minutes. If you do not have electricity in order to boil water, please refrain from using tap water for consumption such as drinking, cooking and/or ice. The City of Houston’s Southeast Water Purification Plant is experiencing low line pressure due to extreme cold. This is the plant that supplies water to the City of Pasadena who then supplies it to the City of Seabrook. Once the Seabrook water supply is determined safe for consumption, the boil water order will be rescinded.
