Essex Community Update on COVID-19 Response

In light of the rapidly evolving response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Town of Essex has taken additional action to prevent the spread of the virus and reduce its impact on the community.

  • On Monday, April 6, Council hosted their first online meeting broadcast on the Town’s YouTube channel.
  • To ease the financial pressure caused by COVID-19, Council waived interest charges on all water and wastewater bills through the period ending June 30, 2020.
  • Property owners who have signed up for pre-authorized payments can halt payments for the period ending June 30, 2020. Once payments resume in July, the remaining payment amounts will be equalized over the rest of the year.
  • To ensure continued transparency while maintaining physical distancing, all future tender document openings will be live-streamed to the Town’s YouTube channel. The first live-streamed tender document opening will take place on Wednesday, April 8.

While the Town has closed all other facilities to non-essential visitors, a number of online service can be found online. Customer service representatives and departmental staff are also available by phone at 519-776-7336.

Following the guidance of local and provincial health authorities, the Town is asking residents to limit all non-essential trips and travel, avoid gatherings of five or more, and maintain thorough environmental and personal cleaning practices.

For guidance on what individuals can do to reduce their risk of contracting the virus, or what to do if they display symptoms, please visit the Ontario Ministry of Health’s COVID-19 resource page. For local updates, please visit Windsor Essex County Health Unit’s Novel Coronavirus page.
