The City recently added a Twitter account to post Traffic and Utility updates. Log onto Twitter.com/BurlingtonNC to see updates and click on the Join Today! button.
With Twitter, citizens can register their cell phones to receive text message updates from the City on traffic alerts, road construction, and utility projects. Citizens will be able to know traffic detours before heading out or when a line flushing may affect water service in their area.
Twitter is a free, third-party service. It is not designed to be a primary form of communication. The City will still post official announcements at BurlingtonNC.gov and in the Times News. This service is a convienience option for citizens. To learn more about Twitter visit their Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section. Standard text messaging rates apply.
