For Immediate Release
City of Mattoon Public Works Department Update
December 21, 2022
A significant winter storm is expected on Thursday and Friday. City crews will be working around the clock to clear the snow.
Residents are reminded to help keep streets open for snow plows by parking in the driveway if possible. This makes it easier for our crews, and it makes it easier to you to shovel your way out after the storm.
This storm will be accompanied by high winds. Tree limbs in the roadway can be reported to 217-235-5171, or 217-234-2454.
The high winds are expected to cause heavy drifting especially on the edges of the community.
Extremely low temperatures are also expected. It is very helpful to leave a small amount of water running when temperatures are below 10 degrees. This helps to prevent water lines and water meters from freezing.
We wish everyone a happy and safe holiday season.
Thank you,
Dean Barber
Public Works Director
City of Mattoon
