City of Adams Proclamation and Declaration of Emergency Due to the current pandemic, all city facilities will be closed to the public until further notice. This includes city hall, the emergency services building, the history center, and the waste treatment plant. City staff will continue to work in all facilities in a limited capacity to provide essential city services. You are encouraged to connect with city staff through the city website (adamsmn.com), call (507-582-3593 or 507-582-3601), or by email (jgoodale@adamsmn.com) .

The City of Adams has been working with local and county officials to help protect the health and wellness of both the community and employees during the rapidly changing COVID-19 outbreak. As transmission has changed in Minnesota from travel-related to community spread, the city is making these changes while still ensuring it can provide essential services to residents. Due to COVID-19 concerns, there has been a shortage of toilet paper on store shelves. This may cause people to look for alternative products such as paper towels, facial tissues, baby wipes, flushable wipes, and other similar items. These products do not break down like toilet paper and can cause sanitary sewer backups, which in turn can cause additional public health concerns. PLEASE DO NOT FLUSH ITEMS OTHER THAN TOILET PAPER DOWN YOUR TOILET. If you have any questions please call 507-582-3593. 2020 Utilities and Street Improvements Project Update
