The city updated their website, no water or wastewater anymore so that means all services are out now. I bet they are working on that and had to shut down access to it, at least I hope that is what they are doing.

Public Notice
Hurricane Harvey
August 27, 2017
9:00 a.m.
Current notice from the National Weather Service (NWS) indicates the Harvey has downsized to a Tropical Storm. The NWS anticipates this storm drifting back towards Ingleside area with high winds and more rain. We expect to receive up to an additional 15 inches of rain in Ingleside as it comes back into our area.
At this point there are NO electricity, water, wastewater, phone, gas, or internet services to the Ingleside area; however, the State Troopers and National Guard are allowing residents with proper photo ID back into the area. This is “Enter at your own risk” due to no utility services. Bottled water and food is being trucked in. It is our understanding that Highway 37 is clear to get back in the area, but all travel is at your own risk.
Please check this website for regular updates. Please be patient with calling our phone lines. We will notify you via these notices on our media sources as services are returned to order. In the meantime, our staff are attempting to answer the calls as much as possible. Those of us outside the area are traveling today (Sunday), trying to get closer to Ingleside. When we get another call center set up, we will post the numbers on this website again. Again, please be patient with us, we are trying to assist a lot of people.
At this time there are no fatalities and no injuries. If you know of someone needing urgent medical assistance, please let us know their name/address/any medical concerns so we can check on them. We will not be able to provide you responses, but we can provide this information to the local authorities to check on them for any medical needs.
IISD Superintendent Troy Mircovich stated he will not consider opening the School until after power has been restored and the campuses have been secured. Please monitor the school districts Website and Facebook page.
We will continue to provide updates as we can from this same media source. Please check back with us often.
At this time we do not have a scheduled update. We are attempting to set up another one closer to Ingleside. Please check our website and media source frequently.
