Lilburn boosts winter road prep with new brine capacity and trucks
Summary
Public Works told the council it now can produce and distribute 2,000 gallons of brine, added two 4x4 trucks with brine tanks and spreaders, and plans to focus pre-treatment on subdivision streets 48 hours before storms; staff also signaled coordination with Gwinnett County and future equipment investments.
Public Works staff updated the Lilburn City Council on winter weather preparedness, saying the department "can now produce and distribute 2,000 gallons of brine" and has added two 4x4 trucks equipped with brine tanks and spreaders to support pre-treatment operations.
Staff described a phased approach that prioritizes subdivision streets and aims to pre-treat roads 48 hours ahead of a storm. The presentation said ongoing training and coordination with Gwinnett County are under way and that the department intends to transition from rented equipment to City-owned brine distribution systems and evaluate future investments in plowing equipment.
Council members heard the operational details as part of routine infrastructure planning ahead of winter. No formal action or vote was recorded on equipment purchases during the work session; the report was informational and intended to inform forthcoming budget and procurement discussions.
