Waller County Enforces Burn Ban Amid Severe Drought
Waller County is currently under a burn ban due to severe drought conditions. The ban, imposed by Darren Waller County Commissioners Court on Wednesday, has no set expiration date. Residents and property owners are strictly prohibited from starting any outdoor fires.
The county has reached a drought index of nearly 700 out of 800, prompting authorities to enforce the ban. Anyone caught violating the ban faces a Class C citation. The ban includes any outdoor burning, and it is in effect until further notice.
Scattered showers and storms are expected to rise on Friday and continue into the weekend, offering some relief from the drought. However, the exact timing of these rain chances depends on the latest weather forecast updates. County authorities will provide updates when conditions improve and/or the ban is lifted.
Until then, Waller County residents are advised to exercise caution and adhere to the burn ban. Anyone with questions or concerns should stay informed through official updates. The next review of the burn ban will take place when significant rainfall occurs or when the drought index improves significantly.
