(Richardson, TX) – Severe winter weather conditions continue to cause the City of Richardson to alter several municipal services. The following changes have been announced for Friday.
City Facilities
Richardson City Hall/Civic Center will be open until 5 p.m.
The following facilities are open with minimal staff but will close at 3 p.m.
- · Animal Shelter · Heights and Huffhines Recreation Centers
· Public Library
· Municipal Court
· Service Center
The following City Facilities are closed today . . .
- · Richardson Senior Center · Senior Van Transportation Service

Solid Waste Services Collection
Due to severe winter weather conditions, residential and commercial solid waste services have been cancelled for today.
Weather permitting, solid waste service is anticipated to resume on the City's normal collection schedule starting Monday next week.
The decision on the cancellation of service is based on the surface conditions on roads, alleys, parking lots and other access points where City workers must travel to safely collect or empty receptacles. Current weather conditions have made those routes too unsafe for collection of garbage at this time.
Water Utilities
As the temperatures begin to rise, the next concern will be the potential for water main breaks and bursting pipes at Richardson homes and businesses.
City utility workers recommend you identify where to shut-off the water to your home in case you experience a break.
In addition, the City is placing additional personnel on duty this weekend to specifically help people shut off water as leaks become apparent. Residents are asked to call 972-744-4111 for assistance.
Residents are encouraged to visit the City’s website at www.cor.net for updated information on closures and alterations to City services.
