Posted on: March 19, 2020

Dear Chaplin Residents,

In an abundance of caution due to coronavirus concerns, the Chaplin Town Hall will be closed to the public beginning Monday March 23, 2020 until further notice.  We have made this decision in an effort to ensure the health and well-being of citizens and staff alike and appreciate your patience during this critical time.

Governor Lamont has issued a series of Executive Orders that alter how towns and boards can continue to function for their constituents. You can read these Executive Orders at the following State website: 

https://portal.ct.gov/Office-of-the-Governor/Governors-Actions/Executive-Orders/Governor-Lamonts-Executive-Orders

Town offices will be staffed during our regularly scheduled hours of operation, so if you have necessary business to be conducted please contact us via phone, internet or mail. The Town departments contact information is located at the end of this document and can also be located via their individual web pages.

If your business absolutely requires your presence at the Town Hall, please call the office to schedule an appointment. Town hall staff will determine if your needs can be fulfilled via mail, email, fax or if a face to face meeting is necessary.

For questions or business relating to the Town Clerk visit her webpage at https://www.chaplinct.org/department.htm?id=wrsghxc2 or contact the clerk by phone or email.

You might already be aware that the Chaplin Library and Senior Center has already been closed until further notice.

The Transfer Station will operate as normal, including electronics collection but the Swap Shop will remain closed until further notice.

All existing Fire Department Hall rentals are cancelled and there will be no hall rentals until further notice. Full refunds shall be provided for any current reservations.

Boards and Commissions will continue to meet on a limited basis. These meetings are closed to the public. The public will have access to those meetings via “GoToMeeting”. For instructions on how to listen and participate in a public meeting go to the agenda for that meeting on the town’s website chaplinct.org and a call-in phone number and access code will be provided on each posted agenda. If you need help or further instructions, please call 860-455-0073 X 310     

All Town sponsored events are cancelled including but not limited to events at the Fire house, Library, Senior Center and the Community Center.

If you have a specific need please contact our offices and we will assist you in any way we can. 

We will continue to provide updates on this evolving situation. Please sign up to receive Google Groups email updates on the Town Website at chaplinct.org
