Illinois American Water announced the Pekin District has gone over 7 years without experiencing any lost-time accidents.

We owe that to our coworkers and their families. There is no room for shortcuts when it comes to safety.”
Illinois American Water conducts both classroom and hands-on training on a regular basis. Employees also participate in facility and job site audits to ensure compliance with established workplace safety practices.
“Our safety record means a lot to our team,” Crisler added. “Safety is a daily focus. We continuously evaluate and act to remove hazards to prevent injuries.”
