In response to the chill that's forecasted to hit the roads in the morning, Duncanville City Hall is set to open at noon today. This precaution extends to other non-essential municipal facilities, a move that underscores the city's regard for public safety amidst potentially hazardous traveling conditions, as per the City of Duncanville.
Considering the cold snap, running their scheduled Friday services, Republic Services will not be, whereas resuming the regular garbage collection is expected by Monday, January 13. This announcement comes as area residents prepare for the frosty conditions.
The Duncanville Recreation Center, located at 201 James Collins Blvd., is transforming into a warming hub for those who might need a place to escape the cold. Opening its doors from 6:30 AM to 9:00 PM on Friday and possibly continuing the operation on Saturday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, visitation fees will not be a barrier for people seeking warmth as these will be waived for the duration. Residents are reminded to come prepared with personal essentials, including phone chargers, water, and snacks.
For reporting non-emergencies, residents are encouraged by the city to call (972) 223-6111, option 4. After-hours water emergencies have their hotline at (972) 780-4959. Stating the obvious, but in the gravest instances, the city reaffirms that calling 9-1-1 is paramount.
