𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞!

The snow, wind and bitter cold are headed our way creating hazardous roadways today and tomorrow.
If you must travel because of an emergency, please slow down, remain vigilant, and Don't Crowd the Plow!

Don't assume that the plow operator can see you. Their field of vision is limited. You may see them, but they may not be able to see you.

𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐬:

Stay at least 200 feet from the plow truck to:
1. Ensure that the driver can see you at all times
2. Allow time for you to slow or stop
3. Avoid obstructed views from blowing snow or material release

Plows travel slower than the speed limit, so use caution when approaching a snow plow. Never pass a snow plow on the right side.

Our plumber, Rick, has a background in welding, so this totally applies to him. Which sort of Fix-It person are you? The "You should have listened" cracks me up. I can just imagine cranking up the sawzall muttering, "I told you this could go easy or this could go hard. Now say hello to my little friend."

It’s a GREAT week at Southern Illinois Plumbing Solutions! The sun is shining, the birds are singing, the jackhammer is hammering and the concrete saw is, well… cutting! Rick and Josh are kicking it and taking names.
