Stay At Home Order to be Extended
In light of the Governor’s announcement today that the “Stay at Home” order will be extended through April 30th, 2020, the City of Kewanee will continue its suspension of Non-essential services. Essential services like water, sewer, trash collection, Police protection, Fire and EMS will continue, though certain precautions are being taken to help ensure the safety of our employees and our customers.
“We strongly encourage everyone to do their part to help prevent the virus from spreading widely though the community when it arrives, if it isn’t here already” City Manager Gary Bradley stated, adding “Mayor Moore and the City Council have supported our efforts to ensure the safety of our residents, are concerned immensely about the economic impact of the Pandemic on our business community, and have empowered our staff to focus our efforts on the projects and programs that matter the most in this uniquely challenging time.”
We encourage everyone to limit their potential exposures, avoid social gatherings, support friends and neighbors who are elderly or immunocompromised by picking up food or supplies for them, continue patronizing local businesses whenever possible, and maintain a sense of faith that we can get through this together (but intentionally apart).
