City offices and most facilities will be closed Thursday, November 26 and Friday, November 27, 2020 for the Thanksgiving holiday. Offices will reopen on Monday, November 30 with normal business hours but City facilities will not be open to the public.
Due to the rising number in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in our area, City facilities will be closed to the public through at least January 11, 2021. This decision has been made for the safety of City Employees and our customers. You will still be able to do business with us over the phone, online, at the Utility Services drive-up window at City Hall and at the taxi drive-up window at the Center for Public Safety. We are also available on our social media channels.

Holiday Cooking Tips: Jacksonville Fire & Emergency Services responds to about 25 kitchen fires a year. When preparing meals this holiday season, remember to never leave your stove unattended. It's always a good idea to have a Class B fire extinguisher or a lid close by in case a fire does break out.
Frying a turkey this year? Make sure your turkey is completely thawed before placing it in the fryer. Use your fryer outdoors only and a safe distance from buildings. Do not overfill or leave unattended, and keep pets & children away while in use.
Never pour fats, oils or grease down the drain, garbage disposal or into toilets. Doing so could cause pipes to clog and eventually back up into your home, causing a mess in your home and possibly sewage spills in the City. Put cooking fats, oils and grease in a can, jar or other container; let it cool and place in the trash.

Traffic Advisory: A portion of Onsville Drive will be closed entirely as a result of emergency repairs to a sewer line, Friday, November 20, 2020. Onsville Drive is a short drive with both ends connecting to Gum Branch Road. Onsville Drive travel up to Brenda Drive will be available on Friday, but not past the intersection of Brenda Drive in both directions.
A broken sewer line closed the intersection of Onsville Drive at Brenda Drive Tuesday, November 17. Crews will replace the line and repair the roadway on Friday. Completion is dependent on the weather and on conditions found when a deep trench is dug to replace the line.
Residents of Brenda Drive will be able to access their homes. Other locations along Onsville Drive will be accessible but the road will be closed at Brenda Drive from early Friday morning until the repairs are complete.
Travelers should consider entering Onsville Drive from the west if they desire to visit Aldersgate or Onsville Place. Travelers should consider entering Onsville Drive at Branchwood or at the east end at Gum Branch Road if they desire to visit any of the other locations.

However you plan to participate in Halloween this year, we urge you to do it with safety for all in mind. Be sure to exercise caution during the hours of trick-or-treat whether you are participating or traveling the roadways. Jacksonville Police request the cooperation of Citizens by limiting the hours of trick-or-treat to 5-8:30 PM on Saturday, October 31.
All state guidelines for large gatherings, social distancing, and cloth face coverings should be adhered to. It you are able to find an alternative to face-to-face interaction, you are encouraged to do so. Here are some suggestions from NCDHHS:https://files.nc.gov/covid/documents/guidance/NCDHHS-Interim-Guidance-for-Halloween.pdf
Jacksonville Public Safety offers these additional safety tips:
• A costume mask is not a substitute for a cloth mask. A costume mask over a protective cloth mask can be dangerous if the costume mask makes it difficult to breathe. Instead, consider using a Halloween-themed cloth mask.
• Practice social distancing to the fullest extent, wear cloth masks, and use hand sanitizer.
• Wear light-colored clothing, short enough to prevent tripping.
• Carry a flashlight and add reflectors to costumes and clothing.
• Ensure you can see well through facemasks.
• Accompany young children on Halloween activities.
• Stay within your neighborhood and only visit homes you know.
• Watch carefully for traffic.
• Only give or accept wrapped or packaged candy.
• Examine “treats” before allowing children to enjoy them.
• Golf carts are not allowed on City streets and sidewalks.
• Motorists should be especially cautious to prevent injury to participants.
