Florissant Receives Silver Shovel

Award From Spire For Pipeline Safety

Mayor Lowery has announced that the city of Florissant has earned the Silver Shovel Award from the Spire Gas Company. This honor will be awarded to the City of Florissant for their commitment to natural gas pipeline awareness and safe digging.

The award will be presented to the City of Florissant at Spire’s Awards Breakfast which will be held on Tuesday, April 25 at the Ballwin Event Center.

To be recognized for this award, a municipality is required to be located within Spire’s service territory, utilize the Missouri One Call System, and adhere to its statutes, and have no “at fault” damages on a gas facility in the calendar year of 2022.

At Spire, they believe energy exists to make people’s lives better. They help more than 1.2 million families and business owners in Missouri fuel their daily lives through our natural gas.

To fulfill their mission to “answer every challenge, advance every community and enrich every life through the strength of their energy,” they need strong partnerships with the municipalities they serve.

And since safety is one of their core values, they have created the Silver Shovel award to recognize municipal public works departments that safely excavate and work carefully around their gas facilities.

Mayor Lowery thank ed Spire Gas Company for recognizing the City of Florissant on this great honor and to thank the members of the Street Department “for being committed to safety each and everyday as they do a great job for our community.”
