❄️ Winter Weather Prep Underway! ❄️
Our Public Works crews are out pre-treating roads today in anticipation of incoming winter weather. They’re applying brine, a liquid salt mixture that helps keep snow and ice from sticking to the pavement.
What is brine?
Brine is simply salt dissolved in water. When sprayed on dry roads before a storm, it creates a thin protective layer.
How does it work? When snow or freezing rain hits the road, the brine lowers the freezing point of water, prevents ice from bonding to the pavement, makes plowing more effective, and helps roads clear faster once the storm starts. This proactive step improves safety and helps crews keep roads in better condition during winter weather events.
Please give our crews room to work! Stay back from the brine and salt trucks. Remember, even treated roads can still be slick as conditions change — slow down and use caution.
We’ll continue monitoring the forecast and adjusting our response as needed. Stay safe and stay warm!
