Customer Newsletter, March 2008

Slow Down!

Southern’s linemen experience added hazards on the job site due to traffic that is moving too quickly past their work area. We will have a number of large job sites across the District in months to come. We ask you to be considerate of these men as they do their work and when you come to a work zone, please remember to slow down so they can work safely.
