Update on 3-26-30:
1. There’s some that believe that City Hall is closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. No, we are not. Misty Richardson and I are still here and are practicing social distancing, as we all should be doing right now. We are available via phone at 903-389-2633, email contact@fairfieldtexas.net, or send us a message here on Facebook. We will get to your request as soon as possible.
2. Many residents have asked about dump passes. The weather is nice and some would like to take advantage. By order of the mayor, the city dump will be open free of charge to city residents. Residents need to bring their water bill as proof of residency. If you are having difficulty or do not have a water bill handy, call us at 903-389-2633.
Thank you for using social distancing and following the guidelines – Nate Smith, City Administrator
