In recognition of a flawless year with no damages to gas pipelines, Spire is honoring Missouri municipalities with their annual Silver Shovel award, a recognition created in 2019 to thank local governments for putting a strong focus on safety.

“Presenting the Silver Shovel award is our way to say thank you to these municipalities for making the decision to put safety first,” said Alan Meyer, Spire damage prevention manager. “By making the free phone call to 811 before starting a digging project, these municipalities protect their employees and residents.”
