| All persons doing business in person at any town building will be required to follow the current CDC guidelines.
The Town offices are open. There is a continuing need to conduct the Town’s business. Both Esther Dobbins-Marsh, Administrative Assistant to the Selectboard, and Deborah Hadlock, Town Clerk, Tax Collector, will continue their regular hours.
The use of hand washing soap, hand-sanitizer, and surface cleaning protocols are in place to help keep Town staff from undue exposure to corona virus.
Highway Department – While the Town garage is closed to non-employees, requests of service or to report a road condition should be directed to the Highway Department by phone at 603-353-9366 or e-mail at: highway@orfordnh.us. For urgent dispatch phone: 603-643-2222
Police and Fire Departments are practicing new interaction guidelines set forth by Hanover Dispatch. When they are dispatched to a call, information about the status of the people on the scene needing assistance will be part of the call notice. Therefore, our first responders will know what to expect and can take personal preventative actions if required.
The Transfer Station (Dump) is a vital town service and is not closed at this time. Local rules are in place there for hygiene and social distancing.
Orford Libraries – While the libraries are open to the public, please contact them directly for their open hours.
