The Town of Waterbury is thrilled to introduce TextMyGov, a convenient and smart text messaging service! This service will enable residents to effortlessly receive important notifications and easily find specific information by texting the town.
The Town will officially launch the new text messaging system to the public on January 6th. Residents may receive a text message from 91896 from the Town initiating the service. You can choose to opt-out at any time by texting STOP.
If you don't receive the initial message, you can choose to opt-in by texting the keyword "Waterbury" to the number 91896. After sending the initial keyword, you will be asked to reply "YES" to confirm opt-in. Residents may receive notifications for flooding or other weather events.
The Town will use textmygov extensively in the event of a flood or other natural disaster, in addition to our other means of communication.
Also, starting soon, residents will be able to receive on-demand information 24/7 by texting 1-2 keywords to the Town's TextMyGov number, 802-200-2644. You'll be able to get quick information about Floods, Public Works issues, Code issues, and other Town information.
The Town's use of this technology is another example of how our community enhances resident services by implementing 21st-century solutions. We're excited about this new way of communicating with residents and look forward to sharing important city notifications. Other governmental entities across the country are utilizing this system with great success. Stay informed, stay ahead.
