Officials said that the plants, which had been slowed because of Hurricane Harvey, were fully operational as of 8:30 a.m.

“Thank you to our amazing community for helping Houston Water by minimizing the amount of wastewater that entered the sanitary sewer system while repairs were made,” said Carol Haddock, acting director of Houston Public Works.

Residents in those ZIP codes had been asked to limit their water usage since the flood.
