Press Release by City of Savannah Office of Communications
SAVANNAH – Due to impacts from Tropical Storm Debby, most City of Savannah non-essential offices will remain closed, however some additional resident-facing services will resume on Wednesday, Aug. 7.
Essential and emergency services will continue to operate and respond as needed.
The City’s Sanitation Department will resume collection routes on Wednesday on a one-day delayed schedule—Tuesday’s routes will be run on Wednesday, Wednesday’s routes on Thursday, Thursday’s routes on Friday. Missed routes will be serviced as quickly as possible. The Dean Forest Road Landfill and Bacon Park Convenience Center will operate on a normal schedule. Street cleaning will resume on its regular schedule and parking will be enforced accordingly.
All pump stations are operating satisfactory and continuing to move water out of streets. High water remains in several areas due to the volume of rainfall received over the last 36 hours.
