To Help Prevent The Spread Of COVID-19, Beginning On March 18th Access To City Facilities Will Be Limited Until Further Notice
Sparta, Illinois – In an effort to help prevent and mitigate the spread of COVID-19, beginning on March 18, 2020, access to city facilities will be limited until further notice. This is being done to help mitigate the spread of the disease to protect our residents, City Staff, and to continue to provide essential City services to the community.
During this time, City facilities will still be in operation and the City will continue to provide services. However, in-person meetings and face-to-face transactions will be restricted. We encourage everyone to utilize the City’s website spartaillinois.us during the period of limited access.
In order to mitigate the impact of this closure, the City of Sparta will not be performing disconnections or shut offs for any delinquent payments on water or sewer service until further notice. Water and sewer customers are still required to pay any balances. Water and sewer bills can be paid online at spartaillinois.us, drop-off box located at City Hall or mailed in to 114 W. Jackson Street Sparta, IL 62286.
The City of Sparta is following the guideline of the Center for Disease Control, Illinois Department of Public Health, and Randolph County Health Department. These closures and restrictions are subject to change.
Please be advised that Governor JB Pritzker’s Executive Order 2020-07, is mandating the closure of “all businesses in the State of Illinois that offer food or beverages for on-premises consumption.” As a reminder, all bars and restaurants are mandated to have ended all dine-in service and remain closed through Monday, March 30. Restaurants may still provide drive-thru, take-out or delivery services at this time.
