The Office of Community Relations made several new updates to the PGC311 system, creating a more efficient and collaborative experience when engaging with your local government along with an easier way to submit service requests and find information.
You can now submit service requests 24/7 through our new mobile app, desktop web portal, or by calling the PGC311 Call Center. And that’s not all! Here are some key features
- Real-time updates: Previously, when you submitted a service request, you would get a message letting you know the request was submitted and then wait for someone to service your ticket. Now, you'll be able to submit your service ticket and receive real-time updates about when your ticket was received, the expected completion date, and an alert after the ticket is completed and closed.
- Knowledge articles: You’ll now have short articles that will help you process your service request and let you know what you need to do to be sure there is no delay in completing your request. We will also feature articles that allow you to quickly get answers to commonly asked questions.
- Easily submit a service request: When submitting your service request, you can now submit pictures to help us better understand what needs to be serviced and where.
The goal is to continue providing residents with exceptional service and bring new technologies to help you easily engage with your County government. Your feedback is welcomed throughout the rolling out of the new system and service offerings. If you’d like to learn more, Click Here.
