On Monday the City of Arlington, Texas, officially launched the new Citizen Notification Service. The program is a free subscription e-mail service that allows the public to receive timely information notices from the City of Arlington.

From the City of Arlington Web site, users can click on Citizen Notification Service, create a profile and select the information that is of greatest interest to them. Notifications can be sent to a computer, cell phone or any device capable of receiving e-mail.

People can be notified when a public meeting about a zoning case is posted, or can receive a text message about important health and safety information. Citizens can be notified when a street is closed for repair.

At anytime, users can modify their selections or unsubscribe to the automatic e-mail notifications.

The City of Arlington Marketing Manager Gerald Urbantke said the new service "further enhances our ability to distribute important news and information about the city."
