At the County of San Diego, a top priority of the Department of
Agriculture, Weights & Measures (AWM) is the health and well-being
of our customers, associates, and communities. We understand the
concern and uncertainty you may be experiencing surrounding
the coronavirus (COVID-19) and are committed to being responsive to
the needs of our customers and associates as the situation
evolves.
Virtual Business Services
AWM will be taking precautionary measures to reduce large numbers of customers and staff gathering in confined spaces, primarily our lobbies. Official guidelines caution against gatherings of over 10 people and to observe social distancing. To meet these guidelines AWM will temporarily close all public lobby spaces effective Friday, March 20th and go to a virtual business process until further notice.
To facilitate continued service delivery, we’d like to take this opportunity to remind you of the online services we provide over the internet.
