BIG SPRING, Texas – Residents who need to visit City Hall on Friday, Nov. 6, should plan to arrive before 4 p.m. The municipal building at 310 Nolan Street will close early for a scheduled pesticide application.
Why the early closure?
The city’s public‑works department has arranged a routine treatment to control insects and pests inside the historic City Hall structure. Such applications are part of standard facility‑maintenance practices that help keep public buildings safe and sanitary for employees and the public.
What services will be affected?
All City Hall services that require in‑person visits – including the clerk’s office, permits desk, and council meeting rooms – will be unavailable after the 4 p.m. shutdown. Phone lines and online portals will remain operational, and city staff will continue to respond to email inquiries.
How to plan your visit
Citizens are encouraged to complete any required paperwork or obtain needed documents before the early closure. If an urgent matter arises after 4 p.m., the city advises calling the main number at (432) 555‑1234 for guidance or to schedule a later appointment.
City’s response
City officials issued a brief statement apologizing for any inconvenience the early closure may cause and thanked residents for their understanding as the city works to maintain a healthy environment within its facilities.
Background on pesticide use in municipal buildings
Municipalities across Texas routinely schedule pest‑control treatments during off‑peak hours to minimize disruption to the public. The chemicals used are approved by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and are applied by licensed professionals following safety protocols.
Looking ahead
The city plans to resume normal operating hours on Saturday, Nov. 7. Future maintenance activities, including routine cleaning and building inspections, will be announced in advance through the city’s website and local news outlets.
For the latest updates, residents can visit the City of Big Spring’s official website or follow the city’s social‑media channels.
