Drought Status

Effective Tuesday, Oct. 28, 2025, the City of Tomball has returned to normal water operation.


The cooler temperatures and much needed rainfall have helped reduce the overall pumping capacity for the City of Tomball water supply. 
 
Beginning Tuesday, Oct. 28, the City is no longer under voluntary water restrictions. 
 
Thank you to all our residents and businesses who helped conserve water over the past two weeks. We encourage our residents to continue their efforts to conserve water and protect our local water system where they can.
