How often does the Village use salt?
A.The Village uses salt and plowing in combination on the main streets, but tries to limit salt use in residential areas to intersections and to those locations where traffic is heaviest or where there are inclines, in order to reduce both the cost and salt damage to the environment. Salt is generally less effective at very low temperatures and so a combination of salt, sand and liquid calcium chloride may be spread during these periods to maintain traction.
