While the snow continues to pile up, self care is important! Grab a hot drink and a blanket and read or watch something you’ve been putting off because you “don’t have time.”

911 is for emergencies. Keep these numbers for other important, but non-emergency assistance. 🩵🐟💜

Our area is currently under a Winter Storm Warning. Here is a list of important numbers to call, should you experience an electric, utility or internet outage, or a road issue.

It is extremely important than you DO NOT CALL 9-1-1 for non-emergency issues. If you have a law enforcement concern that is not an emergency, please call the non-emergency number for the municipal law enforcement agency or the York County Sheriff's Office.

Remember, only unincorporated residents of the County are York County Utility customers. If you live within a municipality, contact them first for utility-related concerns.

Stay safe!
