City closes offices for MLK Day, but many services still available
Friday, January 17, 2025 by Beth Bond
City administrative offices and other facilities will be closed Monday, Jan. 20, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Normal business hours will resume Tuesday, Jan. 21. But many city services will continue to operate as normal, including utilities payments, Austin Resource Recovery curbside collections (they will follow regular schedules) and the Parks and Recreation Department (city parks, golf courses, cemeteries and year-round pools will be open). However, expected inclement weather could limit hours, so visit the Parks and Recreation and Park Closures pages for up-to-date details. If needed during the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, the following public resources will be available: Report power outages at outagemap.austinenergy.com or by calling 512-322-9100; for nonemergency issues, call 3-1-1, download the Austin 3-1-1 mobile app or submit the request online; report water or wastewater emergencies by calling 512-972-1000; and access library resources at the Austin Public Library website.
