Barrow County is set for a brief pause in its usual bustle as several county offices and facilities prepare to take a respite for the Good Friday holiday. According to an announcement on the county's official website, on April 18, the administrative offices, courts, senior center, and animal shelter will all close their doors in observance of the day.
Barrow County's announcement also notes that Victor Lord Park will follow suit with its buildings and athletic fields; however, left open to wander, the park itself will not turn visitors away. Civilians in need of addressing a residential water emergency can still reach out to essential staff from the Water office by contacting (770) 307-6610, ensuring that even on this day of closure, the flow of assistance remains unobstructed.
For those encountering a situation more dire involving wastewater, all is not lost; a call to (770) 298-9527 can connect you with emergency services ready to dive into action. And for the everyday call, that falls into the lap of not-quite-an-emergency, requests can roll to the office’s main line at (770) 307-3014, where they'll be greeted post-holiday.
