Press Release: The TOWN OF NORWICH is thrilled to introduce TextMyGov, a convenient and smart text messaging service! This service will enable residents to receive important notifications pertaining to paving, road closures, emergency announcements, boil water advisories, etc.. The TOWN OF NORWICH will officially launch the new text messaging system to the public on November 5th, 2025. Residents may receive a text message from 91896 from the Town of Norwich initiating the service. Residents have the option to opt-out at any time by texting STOP. If you don’t receive the initial message, you can choose to opt-in by texting the keyword “TOWNOFN” to the number 91896. After sending the initial keyword, you will be asked to reply “YES” to confirm opt-in.  The Town of Norwich’s use of this technology is an example of our efforts to enhance resident services by implementing 21st- century solutions.  We’re excited about this new way of communicating with residents and look forward to sharing important Town notifications. Other governmental entities across the country are utilizing this system with great success. Stay informed, stay ahead.
