Dispatched Calls

Call Processing, Dispatch and Assessment -

With few exceptions, issues under the purview of Municipal Operations are processed and assessed within three (3) business days. Identified hazards are processed and made safe within one (1) business day.
 

What happens when your call or email is received?

HRM Call Centre Agents process all call information and direct the request for service to the appropriate department for review and response.
 
When Municipal Operations receives this information, a Customer Service Representative searches to ensure the issue is not already in our system, thus ensuring the efforts of operations staff are not duplicated. They source all supporting information that will assist the Supervisor in completing their on-site assessment.
 
On completion of the assessment, and when required, the Supervisor generates a work order for repairs. If no work is required, or there is additional information to be shared, the resident is contacted with an explanation.
 
Work orders are prioritized and become part of the work planning process. Repairs are completed as per Municipal Operations Service Standards.
