Out of an abundance of caution, the City of Nitro has taken the following steps to protect the city’s employees and citizens.

Public access to Nitro City Hall will be suspended beginning Tuesday, March 17, due to the continuing concerns about COVID-19.  This situation will be in place until further notice.  Normal business operations will continue at this time by telephone and or email.  Residents may pay municipal service fee bills through direct, online or the outside drop box at city hall. Also, for other public needs such as building permits, etc., the public is being advised to call into city hall at 304-755-0702.

All public facilities will be closed including the Public Works building and Public Library, beginning March 16.  Anyone who had a reservation for one of the city’s facilities may cancel before their event and will be able to receive a refund.  We will continue to monitor the situation and continue to communicate with our state and local health department and follow their recommendations.

The Public Works Department plans to continue with normal trash pickup.  Nitro Police and Fire Department personnel will be in service as usual.

Nitro Municipal Court cases scheduled to be conducted on March 26 and April 6 have been canceled and will be rescheduled.

The scheduled Easter Eggstravaganza and citywide volunteer cleanup day for Saturday, April 4 at Nitro City Park have been postponed and a future date for both events will be announced.  All Nitro Little League activities have been canceled until April 6.
