During a special meeting Thursday morning, members of the Abbeville City Council voted to declare a state of emergency to allow city officials to better maneuver amid the COVID-19 (coronavirus) crisis.
The council also confirmed during the meeting that the city will have to continue to disconnect utilities for nonpayment, as utilities are vital to the city’s finances. Mayor Mark Piazza will look at disconnects on a case-by-case basis. The council also approved a waiver of the disconnect fee and late fee, which will be monitored month to month.
