saving any money on its winter road clearing budget Halton Hills public works superintendent Frank Morette said Monday that the annual roads maintenance budget is on target Although the town has saved money on its snow plowing budget the sanding budget and the earmarked for salting the roads may not be enough due to five freezing rain storms this winter said Mr And the town has spent about on overtime since Jan 1 he said A freezing rain storm is likely to cost the town more to clean up Hydro increases rate paid because public works staff still have to bring out the plows to clear off the many gravel roads in town before applying sand or salt said Mr Morette And that is a very long slow process he added The towns 29 public works staff maintain 282 kilometres of road after every snowfall or freezing rainstorm Occasionally if a bad storm hits an garbage day there are four garbage pickup days a week the town must use parks staff and mechanical workers to keep the roads clear said Mr So far this year public staff members have spread more than 4500 tonnes of sand and 1200 tonnes of salt on the towns roads Although salt is continually re ordered when stockpiles run low the town has only 700 tonnes of sand left in its stockpile said Mr Generally salt is applied to many roads in the urban areas and wellused rural roads said Mr Morette The salts thermal action helps melt any ice or snow on the roads and helps to keep them clear of ice while sand just allows for better traction MAIN STREET SOUTH GEORGETOWN The standard rate paid by On tario Hydro for new independent
