Fulshear Ordinance 2025-1505 protects local waterways by regulating how residents drain pools and spas and prohibiting discharges to the sanitary sewer.
Adopted in 2025, Ordinance 2025-1505 requires residents to drain pool or spa water either into the storm drain system or slowly onto their own lawn so it remains on the property. Discharge into the sanitary sewer is forbidden. Property owners must give the city written notice at least 24 hours before draining a pool or spa, including full name and property address, by emailing Inspections@FulshearTexas.Gov or delivering notice in person at City Hall. The rule supports the city's MS4 stormwater program and protects creeks from pool chemicals.
Citations, daily fines, and required remediation. Repeat or willful discharges may be referred to TCEQ.
