Greeley City Council Urges Community to Wear Masks

Greeley City Council declared its support Tuesday for mask wearing and encouraged the public to help reduce the spread of COVID during this local disaster and global pandemic.

City of Greeley's COVID-19 Precautions

February 6, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDHPE) moved Weld County from Level Orange: High Risk to Level Yellow: Concern on the state’s dial system allowing for greater flexibility for local jurisdictions.

The city remains in the Red (severe risk) category but will operate community services such as gyms, pools, and recreation centers at increased building capacities permissible within the Orange (high risk) level. Restrictions and protocols remain in effect to help ensure the health and safety of the workforce while sustaining operations and services.

Just as before, these increased safety measures apply only to city facilities, not private businesses or services in Greeley, which are under the authority of Weld County Public Health and its officials.

These changes will not have an immediate effect on how community members access City of Greeley services. Access to city staff, services, and facilities will, for now, remain largely by appointment— with City Hall, 1000 10th St., open for walk-in bill payment.

City of Greeley

The City of Greeley is operating with modified public access to select city facilities. Greeley officials believe certain city facilities can offer some in-person services with safety measures in place to protect the health, safety, and future of the community while complying with state public health direction. While some facilities offer select in-person services, other city facilities cannot yet safely allow public access. Those facilities will remain closed to public access until further notice. City officials will continue monitoring the COVID-19 situation to determine the best ways to begin allowing public access at those facilities.

These select city facilities and services are operating with the listed modifications and safety practices. City staff will continue to offer remote access — by internet, phone, and mail where appropriate — to community members who wish to use those options. In all cases, city officials ask visitors to maintain physical distancing, cover their coughs and sneezes, and wear a face cover. Anyone with COVID-19 or flu-like symptoms — a fever, cough, or shortness of breath — should not enter city facilities. Read more.

The Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment is tasked with preserving, promoting, and protecting the health and environment of the residents of Weld County — including Greeley. During this public health emergency, WCDPHE COVID-19 Hotline — 970-400-2111 — is the best source for up-to-date information and enforcement.

Greeley-Evans Transit (GET) / Transporte de Greeley-Evans

UPDATE:
Starting Monday, Aug. 17, Greeley-Evans Transit (GET) buses will run more frequently for extended hours. However, safety precautions to slow the spread of COVID-19 prevent GET from operating at normal service levels and limit the capacity of buses.

Riders should expect varying delays as demand increases.

With the increased demand for public transportation as school starts this month, GET will extend its service times to:

Special Monday through Friday hours of 5:55 a.m. – 7:15 p.m.
Normal Saturday operating hours: 6:50 a.m. – 6:15 p.m.
Normal Sunday operation consisting of only Call-N-Ride services from 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Monday through Saturday, after scheduled buses stop, call and rides services will operate from 6:35 to 9 p.m.

Bus service on Route 1 will increase frequency and buses will come every 30 minutes. For an updated bus schedule, visit www.greeleyevanstransit.com or call 970-350-9290.

For the protection of GET drivers and passengers GET officials will restrict all buses to half capacity. Additionally, all riders must wear a mask and follow all other state executive orders to slow the spread of COVID-19 and ensure they maintain social distancing.

To mitigate the effects of reduced bus capacity, GET will provide additional buses during peak times. However, due to reduced capacity and limited resources, at times passengers will have to wait until additional buses get dispatched and arrive or until the next scheduled bus. Officials understand the inconvenience this may cause and apologize in advance.

Starting Aug. 24, GET will resume limited operation of the Poudre Express commuter route — connecting Greeley, Windsor, and Fort Collins — and the University Of Northern Colorado Boomerang Route. Students from UNC and Colorado State University can ride for free with a current student ID.

Based on ridership data from this last winter and feedback from riders and the recent GET survey, the Poudre Express will operate six trips a day, Monday through Friday. Riders will be able view the new schedule online at www.greeleyevanstransit.com or call 970-350-9290.

The UNC Boomerang Route will operate two buses Monday through Friday. The buses will start at Gunther Hall and Michener Library at 7:42 a.m., with departures every 10 minutes until the final trip of the day at 2:52 p.m.

Water and Sewer

With reports of increased sewer system blockages across the country, Greeley officials want to remind residents to be careful about what they flush.

With the concern over the spread of COVID-19, there is a heightened use of cleaning wipes, disinfectant cloths, chemicals, and other paper products. Even if a product claims to be "flushable," it will cause problems in wastewater collection and treatment systems.

According to Greeley wastewater officials, a good rule of thumb is only to flush the three P's, toilet paper, pee, and poop. Keep all other materials out of toilets and drains. Following these suggestions will help avoid clogged pipes at residents’ homes. It will also help prevent wastewater collection overflows into the streets and the Poudre River that further compromise public health.

Protecting the health and safety of Greeley residents is the highest priority for the City's Water & Sewer Department. Our drinking water treatment methods assure a complete disinfection process, with no threat of drinking water becoming a source of a virus. Our wastewater recovery process uses an ultraviolet light disinfection system to assure the destruction of viruses before water returns to the Poudre River. Greeley's treatment plants are designed to stop waterborne pathogens, like viruses, from contaminating drinking water and wastewater. The city monitors water quality 24/7 at our treatment plants.

Do not flush disposable face masks, please! Greeley’s operations team has found many disposable masks in our sewer system, and they are creating clogs in homeowner pipes and city pipes alike. Such clogs are expensive to remove and can cause damage if sewage backs up into your home. Disposable masks, like disposable disinfection wipes or baby wipes, belong in the trash, not the toilet. Please help us keep your system running clean.

Starting June 3, in-person utility bill payments will resume 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., Monday through Friday at the staffed drive-thru on the south side of City Hall. Your bill can also be pail by mail, phone, or online. Please visit greeleygov.com/utilitybilling for more information on payment options.
