Due to the severe winter storm I have, in consultation with the Director of the Department of Public Works, declared a state of emergency in the City of Methuen at 4:00 p.m. today. City Hall will be closed tomorrow, Monday December 27th. Public Safety personnel and DPW work crews will report for duty as scheduled. Every effort should be made to stay off the roads during this storm. Thank you for your cooperation. If you have an emergency please dial 911. If you need non-emergency assistance please dial the Fire Department line at 978-983-8940.
