Illinois American Water Reminds Motorists to Move Over for Safety
BELLEVILLE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As the National Safety Council's National Safety Month ends, Illinois American Water reminds motorists to move over for safety. Throughout June, Illinois American Water employees were featured on the company's Facebook page through the social media #moveover campaign. Posts highlighted Scott's Law and the importance of moving over for law enforcement, emergency, utility and other vehicles displaying warning lights. Moving over doesn't just protect us—it also protects motorists. At the end of the day, we all share the same goal: to get home safely. Share Scott's Law, 625 ILCS 5/11-907(c), is a mandatory move over law in the state of Illinois. The law requires all motorists to move over when encountering stopped or disabled vehicles displaying warning lights. Since 2000, all fifty states have enacted some form of a 'Move Over' law. Illinois expanded the 'Move Over' requirements to motorists with their hazard lights activated along highways. Scott's Law was named in honor of Scott Gillen of the Chicago Fire Department who was struck and killed by a drunk driver while assisting at a crash on a Chicago Expressway. When approaching a stationary emergency vehicle that is displaying or flashing warning lights, Illinois motorists must: Slow down Drive with caution Move over to another lane Reduce speed if changing lanes is unsafe When entering a highway construction area, Illinois law requires motorists to: Slow down Discontinue wireless use Yield or change lanes away from any authorized vehicles or workers in the area Laron Cole, a field service representative in Illinois American Water's Granite City service area, participated in the company's #moveover campaign to remind motorists that behind every utility worker are loved ones who want them to return home safely at the end of each day. Cole said, 'We understand the work we do can cause temporary inconvenience and disrupt traffic. That's why we work as quickly and safely as possible to restore services and return roadways to normal. We never take shortcuts which could compromise safety. Our friends and neighbors can help by slowing down and moving over when they see us working.' He added 'Moving over doesn't just protect us—it also protects motorists. At the end of the day, we all share the same goal: to get home safely.'

Pennsylvania American Water Provides Tips for Conserving Water This Summer
MECHANICSBURG, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As summer temperatures rise and watering demands increase, Pennsylvania American Water is offering water conservation tips. 'With summer upon us, it's more important than ever to use water wisely,' said Justin Ladner, president of Pennsylvania American Water. "We encourage our customers and the public to reduce outdoor watering, especially after it rains, and to adopt smart irrigation practices. It's our collective responsibility to reduce water consumption and take proactive steps to protect our water supply.' Many people unintentionally water their lawns during peak evaporation times or use more water than necessary to maintain a healthy yard. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), an estimated 50% of outdoor water usage is wasted. This is why it's important to use water wisely, both indoors and outdoors. Doing so supports conservation efforts and helps ensure that safe, clean and reliable water is available for customers and future generations. From adjusting your watering schedule to fixing household leaks, every drop counts. Here are some helpful tips: Water early in the morning, later in the day or even at night to minimize evaporation. As much as 30% of water can be lost by watering during midday. Make use of rainwater by collecting it in rain barrels for use on outdoor plants and gardens. Check sprinkler heads to help ensure water isn't being wasted on pavement or unwanted areas. Use a broom instead of a hose to clean patios, driveways and sidewalks. Mulch garden beds to retain moisture and prevent weeds. A two- to three-inch layer is typically effective. Set your mower higher. Grass cut to 2.5 to 3.5 inches is more drought-resistant and healthier overall. Check for leaks. Even small leaks can waste thousands of gallons of water each year. 10% of homes have leaks that waste 90 gallons or more per day. Ladner added that reduced water usage can also help decrease water bills. 'Actively monitoring and making an effort to use less water in the warm weather months can also keep the usage portion of your water bills lower, helping customers to save money.' Pennsylvania American Water customers can monitor their water usage and find ways to use water more wisely online through their MyWater account. For more water saving tips, click here.
