Dear Smith & Loveless Customers, Consultants, Representatives, and Business Partners:
Smith & Loveless expresses our concern to you, your family members and co-workers currently combatting the effects of the COVID-19 virus, and we wish good health to all.
During this time, we want to assure all of our customers, consultants, representatives and business partners that we remain open for business.
The COVID-19 pandemic is certainly disrupting our normal way of life for the moment, yet we all remain hopeful that through the deliberate preventative actions being taken now, the coming days will allow us to return to a more normal routine. Because the current situation remains fluid as federal, state and local officials guide us, Smith & Loveless Inc.’s primary concern remains fixed upon the well-being of our customers, consultants, representatives, business partners and our employee team members in our on-going company operations.
We are continually listening to the expert advice of agencies like the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and World Health Organization as well as local public health authorities as we formulate the necessary precautions and plans to protect staff and serve you to the best of our capability.
S&L remains open for business
S&L remains fully open for business at our main headquarters in the Kansas City area, and in our affiliate offices in metropolitan Atlanta, Denver, and Los Angeles. We are ready to serve you with all of your water and wastewater needs. We have temporarily altered the way we do some aspects of our business to better serve our customers, consultants, representatives and business partners.
