League City, TX - Brian Worrell

HURRICANE COMING? ARE YOU PREPARED?

HURRICANE SEASON IS HERE...

League City, Friendswood, Pearland, Webster, Dickinson... be prepared.


LISTEN
to local emergency officials, and follow their instructions. Listen to local TV and radio. (KTRH-AM 740 is the designated Emergency Alert Station for the Houston area).

HAVE A PLAN of action for any emergency. If you must relocate, have a predetermined destination, route and alternate route -- whether out of the area or to the nearest shelter.

PREPARE: Have these emergency supplies:

  • Non-perishable foods and water containers.
  • More than one flashlight and extra batteries.
  • First-aid kit, along with any prescription medicine.
  • Store plywood preferably heavy and pre-cut and pre-drilled to cover windows.
  • Plastic sheeting -- for water leaks.

Know the difference between a hurricane WATCH and a hurricane WARNING
A hurricane WATCH is issued when a hurricane becomes a threat to this coastal area within 36 hours. Everyone in the area covered by the watch should listen for further advisories and be prepared to act promptly if a hurricane warning or relocation is recommended.

A hurricane WARNING is issued when hurricane winds of 74 mph or higher, or a combination of dangerously high water and rough seas, are expected within this area within 24 hours. Precautionary actions should be completed immediately.

When a hurricane WATCH is issued:

  • Continue to monitor local TV or radio stations for instructions.
  • Check supplies, especially water (at least 5 gallons per person).
  • Fuel your vehicles and generators.
  • Cover windows with plywood.
  • Bring in ALL outdoor furniture, toys and tools.
  • Moor any boats securely, or move it to a safe place.

When a hurricane WARNING is issued:

  • Continue to monitor local TV or radio stations for instructions.
  • Move early out of low-lying areas or from the coast, at the request of officials.
  • Check tiedowns if living in a mobile home, and leave immediately.
  • If you live on high ground, away from the coast and plan to stay, secure the building, windows and garages and follow all procedures listed above, plus store extra water in bathtubs and all available containers.
  • Turn off utilities, if requested.
  • Stay away from windows, doors and openings.

If you do the right things to prepare, you should be more concerned with meteors and asteroids.

City of League City Implements Mandatory Water Rationing

The City of League City has reached MODERATE Water Shortage Conditions. City Ordinance NO 2002-26 and the League City Drought Contingency Plan requires that we enact a stage 2 response to this water shortage. Stage 2 response requires that citizens follow the listed MANDATORY rules regarding water conservation..\ This mandatory water rationing goes into effect Thursday, July 2, 2009. This plan should allow the City to achieve a ten percent reduction in daily water demand.

Water Use Restrictions as required by City of League City Ordinance NO. 2002-26 and The League City Drought Contingency Plan.

Water use restrictions: Under threat of penalty for violation, the following water use restrictions shall apply to all persons:

1. Irrigation of landscaped areas with hose-end sprinklers or automatic irrigation systems shall be limited to Tuesdays and Thursdays for customers with even-numbered addresses, and Mondays and Wednesdays for water customers with odd-numbered addresses, and irrigation of landscaped areas is further limited to the hours between midnight and 5:00 a.m., and between 8:00 p.m. and midnight on designated watering days. However, irrigation of landscaped areas is permitted at anytime if it is by means of a hand-held hose, a faucet filled bucket or watering can of five gallons or less, or a drip irrigation system.

Use of water to wash any motor vehicle, motorbike, boat, trailer, airplane, or other vehicle is prohibited except on designated watering days between midnight and 5:00 a.m. and between 8:00 p.m. and midnight. Such washing, when allowed, shall be done with a hand-held bucket or a hand-held hose equipped with a positive shutoff nozzle for quick rinses. Vehicle washing may be done at any time of the immediate premises of a commercial car wash or commercial service station. Further, such washing may be exempted from these regulations if the health, safety and welfare of the public is contingent upon frequent vehicle cleansing, such as garbage trucks and vehicles used to transport food and perishables.

v. Failing to repair a controllable leak within a reasonable period of five days after having been given notice directing the repair of such leak

For water conservation tips and/or questions concerning this notice, please call 311.

Here are a few tips for conserving water use outdoors:

· Keep grass 3-inches tall during the summer and don't cut more than one-third of its length at one time. Taller grass holds moisture better. Leave lawn clippings on the lawn instead of bagging them.

· One inch of water per week in the summer will keep most Texas grasses healthy. To determine how long you should run your sprinklers, place straight-edged cans at different distances away from the sprinkler and time how long it takes to fill an average of 1 inch of water in each can.

· Never water on windy days. Use drip irrigation for bedded plants, trees, and shrubs.

· Cover pools and spas. This can save the equivalent of your pool volume each year!

YOU BETTER NOT MISS YOUR WATER DAYS IF YOU WANT YOUR HOUSE TO SELL!!!
