Over the past several weeks, city officials said work has been done to help "ensure a safe and healthy return for employees and visitors."
Some new safety measures added include the installation of hand sanitizer stations, signage marking social distancing placement and the installation of plexiglass shields for employee and customer interactions.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, officials are recommending that visitors to the public buildings use the hand sanitizer stations provided at the facilities and practice social distancing.
Plans include having no more than two people in an elevator at a time.
Walk-in service with City Utilities at Citizens Square will remain closed for the time being.
Customers may use the kiosk located outside of the building and off of the parking lot at 200 East Berry St. to make payments or call customer service at 260-427-1234 to discuss an account.
