Water/Power problems this summer?

Howdy from North Texas. I'm just curious if the Houston area is suffering any water/power shortages/outages? Up here around Dallas, cities are getting pretty serious about not watering lawns and whatnot, but no critical shortages and no power outtages that I know of. A few power disruptions but only lasting a minute, nothing major.

Also, up here we're having the worst allergy season that I have ever seen. People who never sneeze or cough are complaining about allergies now. I'm assuming it's because of all the dry grass blowing around, what's the situation in Houston?

It has been pretty dry as far as rain is concerned. Houston has no shortage of water. Unlike most parts of Texas, Southeast Texas rarly puts on water restrictions. Usually we have to much water.

This is nationwide comment. There is no shortage of water UNTIL they quit watering golf courses, school lawns and parks. Good grief. Las Vegas and Palm Springs are out of water yet they have probably 150 golf courses EACH. Phoenix the same. We are not out, just poor allocation.
