The city of Atlanta announced Friday that ATL311, a non-emergency call center to help residents quickly access city departments and services, has extended their hours of operation.
The service allows residents to report issues, such as water leaks and potholes, or get information on topics like trash collection and recycling. The new hours are Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Previously, hours ran from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Rocky Atkins, executive director of customer service, said the extended hours will help customers with demanding schedules reach the city in the evening.
