East Point Daily Brief: City Updates, Weather Repairs, and February Events

City Updates to Know Today

East Point officials are asking residents to update their contact lists as the city completes a transition to new phone numbers across multiple departments. The main city line remains active, but several offices now use new direct numbers to improve response times and reduce missed calls. City leaders say the change is part of a broader technology update aimed at improving customer service.

Winter Weather Repairs Ongoing

Crews are continuing emergency repair work tied to recent winter weather impacts. The city says repairs are focused on maintaining safe water, sewer, and roadway infrastructure, with some temporary service interruptions possible. Residents are encouraged to report issues promptly through the city’s service request system while work continues.

Utility and Service Reminders

The city’s utility disconnection policy for non-payment remains in effect following its resumption last year. Officials are also reminding cash-paying customers to bring exact change when possible due to an ongoing coin shortage affecting penny availability nationwide. These reminders are part of a broader effort to avoid delays at service counters.

February Meetings and Community Events

Several community-focused events are coming up in the next few weeks. A Georgia Initiative for Community Housing group meeting is scheduled for February 11, bringing together residents and partners to discuss housing stability and neighborhood planning. Later this month, East Point will host a Black History Month program celebrating the life and legacy of Sojourner Truth, continuing the city’s annual tradition of educational cultural programming.

Looking Ahead

With leaf vacuum collection running through early March and multiple civic meetings on the calendar, city officials say February will remain an active month for services and engagement. Residents are encouraged to stay connected through official city updates to avoid missing important notices.
