Would you believe up to 200 tons of salt go on village streets in the winter - but wait, there's also beet juice

Posted by Fred Steiner on February 12, 2015 - 6:55pm

How much salt goes on Bluffton’s streets each winter? What does it cost? And, what's this about beet juice? The Icon asked Jamie Mehaffie, village administrator, these questions. Here’s his responses:

The salt used this winter season is leftover from last year. Near the end of the season last year, the Village of Bluffton still had a reserve amount of salt to purchase based on our contract and we were able to fill our salt storage bins to capacity at last season’s prices of $38 per delivered ton.
