The City of Alva has reports of a door-to-door peddler soliciting residents for paperless billing.
THIS IS NOT A CITY OF ALVA SOLICITATION - DO NOT SHARE ANY PERSONAL OR FINANCIAL INFORMATION.
All door-to-door peddlers are required to have a permit from the City and we encourage you to contact City Hall at 580.327.1340 to verify if such individuals are lawfully permitted to solicit City of Alva residents. You may also request to see their permit and if they do not have one, we do request that you obtain their information and share that with law enforcement.
Please protect yourselves and check on your vulnerable neighbors. Let us know if we can be of assistance.
