The Village of New Paris is thrilled to introduce TextMyGov, a convenient and smart text messaging service! This service will enable residents to effortlessly receive important notifications and easily find specific information by texting the Village.

The Village will officially launch the new text messaging system to the public on or around November 14, 2025. Residents may receive a text message from 91896 from the Village 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 “VNP ALERTS” 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 BOIL ADVISORIES, COMMUNITY EVENTS, WATER MAIN BREAKS, etc.

We will also be collecting addresses and numbers from residents who would like to receive notifications pertinent to their residence (construction, water main breaks, etc.).

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

Sincerely,
Village of New Paris
