The Road Maintenance team has finished up the first round of dust control for 2025. Due to some unexpected setbacks, it has taken us longer than expected to wrap up and we appreciate everyone’s patience with us.
We are currently working on putting together route maps for the second round of dust control work. These applications will start mid-July. Warren and Jasper County residents still have time to sign up, but for all other counties the deadlines have passed.
Once we finish up the dust control season, Steve and I will be hitting the road to discuss the benefits of using the power of beets to melt snow and ice. As I am writing this, the weather channel is talking about ninety-plus temps with a heat index in the triple-digits. It’s hard to believe that municipalities are working on acquiring rock salt and liquid deicers for the upcoming winter! Now is the time to fill those salt sheds and liquid tanks with Beet 55, Beet 55 Plus, Cal Plus, and Beet Salt.
Give the SFG Road Maintenance team a call if you have deicing or dust control questions!
