SMUD Lights Buildings for COVID Victims Memorial; Honors Employee

Listen: Lindsay VanLaningham

SMUD joins the nation to honor lives lost to COVID-19. Beginning today, through Friday, January, 22, the iconic SMUD Headquarters building, the Customer Service Center on S Street and the East Campus Operations Center on Bradshaw Avenue will be lit in amber lighting in honor of COVID-19 victims.

Despite following all health and safety mandates, protocols, and best practices, many SMUD employees have been impacted either directly or by family members falling ill. Tragically, a SMUD employee died from COVID-19 complications last week. Flags were flown at half-staff at all SMUD buildings and truck booms in the Operations Yard were raised in remembrance.
