Work has started on the Flood Mitigation Project. Sanitary sewer work will be started on the north side of town and storm water work will be on the south side to town. Contractors will be notifying affected residents by placing door hangers on your door to let you know when the work will start in your area.  We appreciate patience during these times of improvement projects.  Please don't hesitate to contact City Hall or the Mayor should the need arise.

Subject: Damage Assessment

Good Morning,

We realize power has been our focus over the last week. As most of you know, Center Point is still working to resolve the issues. We appreciate all that stepped up and our citizens for enduring these difficult times.

We are now focused on recovery, which takes time and effort in our communities. We are deploying five teams of two today to start the damage assessment throughout the Austin County area. We ask all residents who receive damage to please be patient with these personnel. They will be reporting damage only from Hurricane Beryl. Lastly, we would like to invite you to send this information so everyone can self-report, which some have already done.

Please report; this will help Austin County receive FEMA support.

Message from the Mayor:

Mosquitos thrive where there's tall grass and standing water.  As the city continues spraying and working to maintain city property grass mowing, the Mayor is requesting citizens also do their best to keep property grass maintained-please, be mindful of anyone that may be needing assistance with their yard.
