"Many of our staff will get a well earned break over the Bank Holiday, however, every effort has been made to ensure essential services can continue as normal," she said.
"The continuation of refuse services will mean that disruption will hopefully be kept to a minimum for householders.
"I would encourage anyone accessing leisure services in particular to check on Council's website for the changes to opening before visiting."
The Brandywell, Foyle Arena, Riversdale Leisure Centre, Melvin Sports Complex and Derg Valley Leisure Centre will all be closed on July 12 while Brooke Park, Templemore Sports Complex and Bishop's Field will be open as normal.
The Guildhall and Tower Museum will also be open as normal on both days and cemeteries will be open and fully operational. Council offices on Strand Road and Derry Road in Strabane will close on July 12 while Derry Road will also close on Wednesday, July 13 .
The District Registration Office in Derry will close on July 12 and will operate on an appointment-only basis on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.
