Clearwater County opening most offices May 4

Beginning Monday, May 4, Clearwater County will open its offices for normal business hours, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Monday, April 27, Clearwater County Commissioners, elected officials and department heads met to discuss the opening of the Clearwater County offices. After reviewing the current situation in the county and surrounding areas it was determined that Clearwater County was in a position to open its facilities while following social distancing and safe hygiene recommendations.

Each department will prepare to best serve the public while maintaining safe social distancing recommendations. They ask the public to be courteous and patient when conducting business. They ask that people do not come to the county offices if they are feeling sick. They encourage everyone to call ahead to see if their business can be conducted over the phone. When in county buildings, please maintain safe distances and be mindful of others that are around.

The court system will be operating under additional restrictions and requirements, in accordance with the orders of the Idaho Supreme Court. Those who have any questions about court operations, please call the Clerk of the Court at 208-476-5506. Please call before appearing in-person at the Courthouse for any matter pertaining to the courts.

During the upcoming weeks as businesses start to open up, county officials encourage all to use their best judgment when going out in public. Those who are sick or have a fever should stay home. Practice good hand hygiene, cover coughs and sneezes and keep safe social distancing.
