It is important to be prepared and keep an eye on the weather. Pflugerville has received more than 6 inches of rain the last week and rain continues in the forecast for the coming week. As rain falls on already saturated grounds, we may see additional water accumulation on roadways. Please do not drive through standing water. The City sends text and email alerts if a roadway is closed due to flooding. Sign up at www.nixle.com or text PfPD to 888777. 

For your vehicle, check that windshield wipers are working properly and not in need of repair. Reduce speed on slick roadways and allow extra distance between vehicles.

Keep up with local weather forecasts through the National Weather Service or area news outlets. Sign up to receive emergency weather alerts from Warn Central Texas.
