It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Jackie Welch. Jackie epitomized love for her community. Whether she was serving on Pasadena City Council or volunteering her time for numerous local organizations, we could always count on Mrs. Welch to bring her positive attitude and generous spirit. ** Statement from Mayor Jeff Wagner: "Mrs. Welch always showed up with a camera in her hand, a giant smile on her face and a heart as big as Texas. We will miss her joyous energy, but are so thankful she called Pasadena home. Please join me in praying for the Welch family, including Jackie's husband and former city councilman, Mr. Bill Welch."

{September 11, 2023} Today we remember the nearly 3,000 innocent lives taken from us on September 11, 2001. They were mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, friends - each with dreams and aspirations cut short by an act of terror. May we also honor and remember the firefighters, police officers, paramedics, and countless brave individuals who rushed toward the chaos, demonstrating unwavering courage and dedication to their fellow Americans. They risked everything to save lives and protect our nation. #neverforget

A special #back2school message from @mayorjeffwagner 🚌❤️

🚨ATTENTION RESIDENTS 🚨 💧Our water system, like most others in the state, is being taxed because of the current drought conditions. While Pasadena is NOT experiencing a current shortage of water, we are asking fo your help in conservation to avoid low pressure, which is generally the enemy in drought situations. Following these steps will help conserve water: 1) Avoid watering your lawn in mid-day. 2) Check for leaks in your sprinkler system. 3) Avoid washing your car at home until conditions improve. 4) Immediately report waterline breaks to the Mayor's Action Line at (713) 475-5555. Go to www.takecareoftexas.org for more helpful tips. Thank you for your cooperation in helping us get through this hot summer safely.
