Notices and Service Changes

Effective February 2, 2020

The hours for 311 are being reduced from 24 to 12 hours a day. The new hours are from 7am to 7pm, seven days a week (closed statutory holidays).

The changes to 311 hours are an effort by Council to deal with reduced revenues and to keep tax increases down for citizens. The compressed schedule will result in a slight increase to wait times.

Support for essential public safety and urgent bylaw calls will continue to be available after hours. Examples include; down trees, manhole cover off on arterial road, sinkholes, dog attack, parking related concerns, etc.

What the City Does With Your Request

311 plays a vital role in sharing information with the citizens of Edmonton. 

Most callers to 311 will find that the agent is able to assist them with their call through to completion.  In other cases the details of the request will be summarized through a service request for the appropriate department to complete. During these situations the caller will be provided with a reference number which allows them to follow on the request.

As part of our commitment to excellent service delivery all 311 calls are recorded and randomly reviewed for quality assurance purposes.
