Below you will find updated slides from the most recent National Weather Service briefing City of Bainbridge staff attended this morning. Please note the times listed for precipitation and make plans to stay off the roadways following the accumulation time periods. Driving on snow, ice, or sleet is dangerous and many of us in our area are not accustomed to it. Temperatures are not predicted to rise above freezing until midday Thursday and snow and ice will remain on the roadways until then making it impossible to lines on the streets and where the roadway ends on city streets without a curb. Please use extreme caution and stay off the roads if possible, for everyone’s safety. Our resources will be limited to respond to incidents. Stay safe!

Due to the accumulation of potentially 2-4 inches of snow on the ground, by Wednesday morning all non-emergency City of Bainbridge offices will be closed tomorrow, January 22. Please note this will again impact trash pickup for the remainder of the week. We will NOT run any route on Wednesday but will attempt to run Tuesday’s route on Thursday and Wednesday and Thursday’s route on Friday. Depending on road conditions, we are prepared to run trash pick-up on Saturday should it be needed. Please leave your trash can at the curb and we will empty it by the weekend. We appreciate your patience and be sure to follow along on our website, social media and app for updates on winter weather modifications.

A winter weather blast is forecasted across the U.S. next week and spread as far south as the Bainbridge area. Winter precipitation is being forecasted, and we could potentially see snow, ice and/or freezing rain across our area. Per City Engineer, Gabe Menendez, city crews will be service based and are preparing for the possibility of winter weather. We have been in contact with DOT and they are taking care of ensuring our bridges are prepped. Our crews will be on standby to spread sand if the need arises. Residential trash pick up is adjusted for week due to the Martin Luther King Jr holiday and will stay on the adjusted schedule as long as the roads are safe to be on. Please use the weekend to prep your home for the weather as well.

Is it fast? Yes! Is it reliable? Yes! Is it local? Yes! But what sets Bainbridge fiber apart is our customer service. Last night, we held our 3rd community Q & A session for our new fiber service and was able to personally meet potential customers, answer their questions and even scheduled a home visit for next week to walk a possible customer through what installation would look like at their house. Our people make the difference!

Decatur County’s flood risk information has been revised, and updated flood hazard maps are ready for review. The issued preliminary flood maps will replace outdated studies, some of which are more than 30 years old. Revisions to these mapping products may affect residents and business owners in Decatur County, City of Bainbridge, City of Climax, City of Attapulgus, and Town of Brinson. You can view the new preliminary maps to see how your flood risk may have changed, learn how they can affect building and flood insurance requirements and find out what your options are at a Virtual Flood Risk Open House: https://www.georgiadfirm.com/VOH/ Georgia’s Virtual Flood Risk Open House provides information relevant to the proposed changes in flood risks in your community, as well as an opportunity to connect with floodplain management experts from your local jurisdiction, the GA Department of Natural Resources, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
