[ARCHIVED] 3-25-20 City Service Adjustments

Staff working to maintain service levels and protect public health.

The City of Killeen has adjusted many of its services to protect employees and the public during the COVID-19 emergency. While continuing to provide essential services, we are doing our part to stop the spread by limiting person-to-person contact.

Most all municipal offices are closed to the public. Most services can be obtained by phone, email or web. In situations where a member of the public must enter a City facility, protocols are in place to create barriers or space for social distancing to minimize physical contact.
