Texting Update Service Available for City of Covington Residents

A message from City Manager Scott Andrews about a new texting service available to City of Covington residents to keep the community updated on events, public safety issues and more!

February 28, 2022

Hello Covington Residents!
 
I wanted to reach out and let you know about an exciting new opportunity to stay up-to-date on activities going on around your city. The City of Covington has purchased a texting service, allowing you to opt-in and receive text updates about our city. These updates can include information about public groups, council meetings, community events, road closures, and emergencies.
To opt-in to this text update program, you will need to text in one (or more) of our keywords. The keywords are listed below with descriptions on what updates are included in them.
 
  • Keyword 1: COVevents – This keyword will provide you with updates about events going on in our community. This includes information about any of the events being planned through our Community Development Department at the Welcome Center.

 

  • Keyword 2: COVsafe – This keyword will provide updates about any active public safety concerns as well as updates on road closures, utility outages, and any other disruptions to daily life.

 

Text your keyword to this number: 844-912-0958

 

You should receive a text letting you know that you have registered to receive updates to that keyword. If at any time you want to opt-out of the program, you can text the same number the phrase STOP, and you will be removed from further updates.
 
We hope you will consider being a part of this new initiative to keep our citizens involved with our city's daily activities. Thank you for continuing to make Covington such a great place to be!
 
- Scott Andrews
