The City of Beaumont announced new measures on Tuesday to ease the financial burden of people in the community struggling amid the ongoing COVID-19 crisis.
The city is allowing both residents and businesses who are enduring financial difficulties the option to “delay City of Beaumont water, wastewater and garbage collection bills and property tax payments,” the municipality said in a news release. “Beaumont city council is taking these actions to support our residents and businesses,” Mayor John Stewart said. “Whether people lost their jobs or their incomes were cut, we want to do our part to help ease their financial burden during this trying time.” Payment of city water, wastewater and waste collection bills can be put off until Sept.
