Government offices to delay starts

Oconee County government offices and facilities are closed until 12 noon today.  According to Lisa Burton, clerk of court, all jurors directed to report to the courthouse have been released for the rest of the week.  County services that include tax payments, address changes and building permit applications are available online at www.oconeesc.com.  City halls in both Walhalla and Westminster open at 10:30 this morning.  Until the weather improves, Walhalla trash pickups are on a delay until the roads improve.  Brush pickups will be modified to allow for roadsides to be cleared up as quickly as possible.  Until road and trail conditions improve, Stumphouse Mountain Park and Bike Park remain closed.  Because of dangerous roads, CATbus will not run on icy roads.
