DPW UPDATE REGARDING ROADS

“We will continue to plow throughout tonight until the snow stops and all roads have been plowed and cleaned up. Keep in mind that this will not be accomplished as quickly or as effectively as people are used to due to the continued presence of enormous amounts of snow on the sides of roads as well as the hard pack snow and ice.

Tomorrow (Friday) we intend to treat all secondary roads with a mixture of 2:1, sand:salt; the highest concentration that we have ever applied to secondary roads. The salt in combination with forecast sun and warming temperatures over the next several days should loosen the hard pack up so that we can begin to remove it from the roads. We will continue to salt, monitor, and scrape until the roads are clear”.

Road Snow and Ice Removal

February 22, 2015 – This morning three DPW managers, including Director, Dan Santos, went to several roads and “plowed” them. There was a minimum amount of slush to plow. Not much melting had occurred and they each concluded that plowing would just leave a sheet of ice on the road. They have enough salt to make a 4 to 1 ratio of sand to salt and have decided to have crews sand/salt all the secondaries. This process should also take about eight hours to complete.

With the temperature expected to go well below freezing after today’s thaw, surface conditions will become slippery.

Take precautions when driving and walking.
