Announcements

• All city parks remain closed, except City Park on Park Street and the Buckhannon River Walk Trail, for cleaning and sanitation.
• The remaining season of Festival Friday in Jawbone Park has been canceled due to the temporary closure of Jawbone Park and the flood recovery efforts.
• Debris Removal Update: Residents are reminded to place flood-damaged debris at the curb as soon as possible because the West Virginia Army National Guard is making its final passes throughout the city and county. Items should be staged at the edge of the right of way in a manner that does not block roadways, sidewalks or drainage paths. If debris has not yet been collected or a location was accidentally missed, call 304-472-4983 so arrangements can be made. Only one request is necessary.
• Buckhannon is waiving all building and wiring permit fees for verified flood-related repair and restoration work. Permits will still be required to ensure safety and compliance, but any project confirmed as flood-related will receive a full fee waiver. Building Code Enforcement Officer Vincent Smith will inspect each project to verify eligibility.
• Flood Relief Financial Donation Options: The City of Buckhannon and Upshur County Commission have identified two official organizations for those wishing to make financial contributions to support local flood recovery efforts. Contributions may be made online to the Rotary Club of Buckhannon Upshur Foundation or Tygart Valley United Way.
• Trash Can Placement: Trash cans must be hidden from public view as much as possible during the week. Place them at the curb the night before collection and return them within 24 hours after collection.
• Utility Bill Payments: Pay utility bills online through Municipal Online Payments or by phone at 1-866-933-4026. Setting up an account allows customers to monitor consumption.
• Report Repairs or Concerns: To report issues such as potholes or damaged signs, call City Hall during business hours to submit a work order or use the city’s Citizen Engagement tool.
