Council meeting: please pass the salt - if there is any to pass

Posted by Fred Steiner on February 14, 2011 - 5:37pm

When the snow piles go up the salt piles go down.

Bluffton's salt supply is about one bin full, according to Jamie Mehaffie, village administrator. "We have two bins, which each hold nearly 75 tons of salt," he told Bluffton council on Monday night.

"We have ordered another 75 tons of salt. This would put us slightly over our reserve tonnage allotment for the year, but we would still have access to an additional 30 tons if we need it and our supplier has it available," he said.
