If someone could let us know when power is back on and the water is safe to drink in Friendswood, that would be great.

KHOU discussion forums here indicate some electricity restored in Friendswood (the thread is about 17 down the list). You may want to post to the forum asking about your neighborhood and about the water situation. Another story on KHOU indicated the water situation is improving in general. No specific info for Friendswood.

Sporadic power is returning to certain areas of Friendswood. However, local utilities are still advising that it may be one to two weeks before all of Friendswood’s power is restored.

Emergency responders are currently conducting damage assessments throughout Friendswood. Due to damage from Hurricane Ike, Mayor Smith has extended the curfew for the City of Friendswood from dusk until dawn every day until the city and utility companies can provide safe and effective services. Proper identification will be required to travel within the city during the extended curfew.

There is no widespread flooding. The water supply is safe.

For any additional information, please contact the City of Friendswood Office of Emergency Management at 281-996-3335 or by e-mail at eoc@ci.friendswood.tx.us.
