Due to the expected winter weather, the City of Centralia is declaring a snow emergency starting at 8 a.m. Friday, January 17, 2020, through 6 a.m. Saturday, January 18, 2020.

A snow emergency means residents should not park their vehicles on certain streets in the community, but rather park in the alley or in their driveway.

Failure to comply with this request could mean that your vehicle will be towed and you will be issued an ordinance violation ticket in the amount of $150.00.

If you have any questions about the rules that govern snow emergencies, feel free to call 618- 533-7622 or view the ordinance on the city website at cityofcentralia.org.
