Mixing Sand And Salt

Add South Milwaukee to the list communities dealing with a shortage of road salt.

The Street Department is reporting that “our salt supply has dwindled to the point that we will be adding sand in the mix and reducing spread rates to stretch our supply as much as possible.  Local vendors do not have additional salt available.”

I’ll keep you posted.

And, as always, I ask for your patience when it comes to snow and ice removal. This has been a historically bad winter, and our street crews have had to work extremely hard (at all hours and some holidays) to keep the roads clear. I thank them for their hard work … including ahead of time for this weekend, as more snow moves in.
