Phenix City proclamation recognizes Building Safety Month 2025; staff warns water outage duration unknown

Speaker 1, a staff member, presented a proclamation recognizing Building Safety Month 2025 and said the duration of an upcoming water shutoff connected to a local site was "unknown and could be 2 hours or 2 days or more."

The proclamation text, read by Speaker 1, invoked the monthlong theme of building safety: "The theme of Building Safety Month 2025 encourages us all to get involved and raise awareness about building safety on a personal, local, and global scale," the staff member said.

City residents and businesses potentially affected by planned shutoffs were not named in the excerpt and no timeline or contact information was specified.
