We have received word that the Army Corp of Engineers will continue releasing water from the Barker and Addicks Reservoirs. This is something that must be done to ensure the integrity of these structures and provide capacity for any further rain.
The Corp continues with a measured release of water. They are working to minimize any additional impact.
Closed roads include: Voss south of Memorial, S. Piney Point at the Bayou, Briar Forest west of Memorial, Gessner at Vanderpool/Warrenton, and Memorial west of Gessner.

I am sure that many of you have been told that water services are unavailable or unsafe during storms of this nature. The City of Bunker Hill has a separate water system from the City of Houston and the other villages. Our water system has back up generators and is currently operating with no interruptions in service. Our water is currently safe for consumption and we do not expect that status to change. However, should any issues occur, we will contact you immediately with further instructions.
The waste water system is, however, overloaded with all of the rain water entering the system through submerged manholes. You may experience some minor back ups and sluggish draining inside your home. There is also the possibility that manholes may overflow from the massive amounts of rain water entering the system. You should avoid walking or playing in high water for this reason. Please continue to stay off the roads and avoid traveling. Memorial Drive Presbyterian Church is open for emergency sheltering.

Director of Public Works
