In acknowledgment of the upcoming Columbus Day, San Luis city officials have announced a temporary change in municipal scheduling. According to a statement released by the City of San Luis, all city offices will remain closed on Monday, October 14, 2024, in observance of the holiday. This will effectively push a pause button on the typical bustle of city governance, as regular operations are to pick up again the subsequent day, October 15.
Residents should note alterations to services such as refuse collection; if your pickup is slated for Monday and Thursday, trash will instead only be collected on Tuesday and Thursday during that week. Similarly, those on the Tuesday and Friday schedule should expect their bins to be serviced on Wednesday and Friday. This shift ensures that despite the break, no rubbish will be left unattended for too long.
For those with utility bills hanging over their heads, don't let the closed doors of City Hall keep you from ticking that task off your checklist. The city has provided several alternative payment options to ensure your utilities aren't disrupted. These include making payments online, over the phone, via live operator, through a self-service kiosk, or even dropping a check or money order in the drop box at City Hall. The city reassures that all transactions will be duly processed the next business day.
For the unforeseen, if a water or sewer emergency does decide to stubbornly arise, residents have been reminded to directly get in touch with the Police Department's Communications Division. Though the holiday may curb the regular rhythm of city services, it's clear that emergency responses remain primed to act swiftly. More information about the Columbus Day scheduling and services can be obtained by reaching out to the City of San Luis Public Affairs Office at (928) 341-8520 or via email at [email protected].
