The City of Farmington is excited to launch TextMyGov, a new, smart text messaging service! Residents can receive important notifications and text the city to find specific information.

Farmington will officially launch the new text messaging system to the public soon. Residents may receive a text message from 91896 from the city initiating the service. You can choose 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 “FARMINGTONALERTS” to the number 91896. After sending the initial keyword, you will be asked to reply “YES” to confirm opt-in. Residents may receive notifications for upcoming events, Farmer’s Market information, Elections, voter information, Public Safety updates, etc. For specific text alerts, text one of the following keywords to the number 91896:

•          Farmer’s Market notifications: text FARMINGTONMARKET to 91896
•          Public Safety updates: text FARMINGTONPOLICE to 91896

Also starting soon, residents will be able to receive on-demand information 24/7 by texting 1-2 keywords to the City’s TextMyGov number. You’ll be able to get quick information about Elections, the Farmer’s Market, Public Safety, and other city information.

Farmington’s use of this technology is another example of how our community is enhancing resident services by implementing 21^st-century solutions.  We’re excited about this new way of communicating with residents and we look forward to sharing important city notifications. Other governmental entities across the country are utilizing this system with great success. Stay informed, stay ahead.
