Attention Barrow County residents: In observance of Labor Day, a range of County offices and services will be taking a brief pause on Monday, September 1. As detailed in an announcement on the official county website, this includes administrative offices, the courts, the senior center, and the animal shelter. So, you might want to plan ahead if you were thinking to swing by any of these facilities early in the week.
For those looking to to potentially squeeze in some end-of-summer recreation, Victor Lord Park is offering up a bit of compromise. While buildings and athletic fields will remain locked up tight, the park itself will stay open for anyone looking to soak in some nature or enjoy personal outdoor activities. You'll even be able to access batting cages, tennis, and pickleball courts if you're in the mood for a little holiday competition.
Need to report a water emergency? No worries there. The Barrow County Water office will technically be closed, but they're not leaving you high and dry. Essential staff are set to remain on call for any residential water crises that emerge. To report an incident, the county advices residents to call (770) 307-6610. For wastewater emergencies, there's a separate line at (770) 298-9527. And for anything less urgent, just hang tight and call the office line at (770) 307-3014 after the holiday.
