City Workers Continue To Serve Amid Pandemic
When the onset of COVID-19 had many people working from
home, Clearwater first responders and staff from all city
departments continued to be on the front lines, working hard
to keep essential services and city business ongoing.
Police officers, firefighters, water plant operators, city sanitation workers, and
countless others from all city departments showed up to work every day during
the pandemic. Many had to learn new ways to do their jobs in order to ensure
the safety of residents and one another, to keep water flowing and to keep
construction in the city going.
Whether it was electronic permitting or FaceTime inspections, city workers were
out in the field working hard and finding new, innovative ways to get the job
done while protecting the safety of customers and themselves.
Many employees across all city departments worked during the partial shutdown,
and the city continues to do all it can to keep our residents and employees safe.
