Winter Garden is one of five cities and four counties listed on the Mobile Citizen app, developed earlier this year. Free through iTunes and Google Play, it's a bit like having the city receptionist helping Siri out.
The app provides answers to many commonly asked questions about Winter Garden services, such as, When can I water my lawn? Where do I vote? How can I report potholes or street light/traffic signal outages? What do I do about a clogged storm drain? How can I get a garbage bin? Can I rent a park pavilion?
The app provides numbers and websites and if repairs are needed, allows residents to fill out brief reports, take photos and upload them immediately to the appropriate departments.
The city is promoting Mobile Citizen for reporting non-emergency storm-related damage, like downed trees and power lines, flooding, and damaged traffic signals and street lighting, But it's a terrific pocket resource for all kinds of city information. Plus, as the city says in its winter bulletin, it's "the best way to get speedy resolutions to your service requests."
