Town constructed a salt storage shed in 2016 as well started using treated sand during winter of 2017/2018. Moved over to increased use of treated sand (magnesium chloride) to lessen our reliance on salt as a deicer. This has not completely replaced salts but it has reduced our reliance on salt as a deicer for secondary roads. Town will be working towards updating the Salt Management plan to reflect current practices.
