Snow Removal & After Hours Services

Snow Removal Service

When there is ice or snow on the Village streets and the Smithton Village Street Department crews are out plowing, please do not park your vehicles on the street — plan to park them in the driveway or plan accordingly. It is very difficult to plow the streets with vehicles in the roadway. This could pose a very dangerous situation not just for the employees, but for your vehicle as well.

After Hours Service

For after hour concerns regarding the Street & Utility department, please contact the non-emergency police line at (618) 233-0550. The officer on duty will contact the appropriate on-call employee.
