Winter Storm Tips

This is a reminder and some quick tips on how to deal with the extreme weather expected this weekend.  H2O Innovation staff will be mobilized and standing by to deal with water main breaks and water plant issues. If you experience a pipe freeze on your side of the water meter outside your home, H2O can only turn your water off at the meter. If you have a pipe broken inside your home, you can isolate your private cut off, which is usually located on the side of your home below your water spigot or inside the garage.

We recommend having the names of a couple of plumbers should you need them, as H2O does not repair homeowner private water lines.

Freeze Preparation Tips:

  • Wrap outdoor pipes and garage pipes.
  • Remove water hoses and wrap water spigot.
  • Drain and turn off the sprinkler system.
  • Turn off water to your washer if it is in the garage.
  • Locate your private cut off valve, usually located on the side of your home below your water spigot or inside the garage.
  • If you leave your house before the freeze, turn off the water at your private cut off valve and leave your heat on.

Protect your pipes when it freezes!

  • Open cabinets under sinks to let your house heat warm the pipes.
  • If your pipes freeze, turn off the water at your private cut off valve. This prevents broken pipes from leaking into your home after they thaw.
  • Let faucets drip from the cold and hot taps or run water through your indoor faucets before you go to sleep.

You can contact H2O Innovation at (281) 353-9809 with any questions or concerns.

Freeze Warning Preparedness – 2025

Being prepared is the first step in reducing costly home repairs and emergency situations during inclement weather . Here are some tips to help keep you warm, safe and reduce the chance of damage to your residence and/or property:

  • Shop earlier for supplies! When dangerous weather is pending, don’t wait to stock up on useful items, such as pipe insulation, bottled water, canned goods, hygiene & feminine products, pet food, batteries, flashlights, wood for fire places, gas powered generator if possible, and blankets. Checking fuel levels in your vehicle and toping off if necessary is also a good idea.
  • Stock up on medications and first aid supplies! Road conditions may become hazardous during inclement weather, so make sure you have at least a weeks worth of first aid needs and prescribed medications on hand.
  • Insulating outside water pipes! Check around and near your home and property to insure there are no exposed water pipes. Covering any outside faucets, water spigots and turning off automated water sprinkler systems is a must during freezing temps.
  • Check on elderly family members and friends prior to inclement weather. They may not have the resources to stock up on supplies, and may require assistance.
  • Bring outside pets indoors! Remember: If you’re cold, they’re cold. Bring them into a warm area with plenty of bedding. If your pet requires a prescription medication, make sure you have a least a weeks worth on hand during the inclement weather.
  • Checking all window and door sills to ensure proper fit and that they are air tight to prevent cold air from entering and warm air from escaping. This is especially important in case of power loss in your home.
  • Cover outside plants and shrubbery with sheets. Covering your landscaping will help minimize the risk of damage caused by frost and freezing temps, and when possible, bring potted plants indoors.

Precinct 3 Debris Removal

Precinct 3 Residents,
Precinct 3 Road and Bridge crews and contracted trucks will be starting debris pick- up on Monday, May 20th. Our area stretches from The Villages up to Cypress, through Tomball, Spring, Humble, Atascocita, then down the San Jacinto River through Huffman, Crosby, Highlands, and Baytown to Channelview. We were especially hard hit in Cypress and The Villages areas.

We expect debris operations to last for weeks to months, so please be patient as we move through the affected areas. Each debris zone where debris has been reported will have assets assigned. Presence will be heavier in the most impacted areas.

The most impactful things you can do to help are as follows:

  • REPORT DEBRIS to our hotline by calling 713-274-3880, this greatly helps with planning and staging of assets. You can also call Precinct 3 dispatch at 713-274-3100, if the debris hotline is busy.
  • Follow the debris staging/sorting guidelines in the attached handout (vegetative, construction, appliances, electronics, hazardous)
  • If at all possible, do not park cars on the street near or across from debris piles. Our trucks and equipment are very large and if an area is not able to be accessed we will have to return later once obstructions have been removed.

Please know that we understand how traumatic and disruptive an event like this can be. Many of our crews who will be working in your areas are also Precinct 3 residents with property damage and power outages… this makes us especially proud to be serving you. Thank you for your partnership in the recovery efforts

Sincerely,
Tom Ramsey
Commissioner Precinct
