Highway staff reports switch to liquid chloride, ongoing grading and equipment updates

Jun 2, 2026

Weybridge highway staff reported the town has two leased liquid chloride tanks now in service to reduce dust, plans to retrofit a small tank for the truck, and described recent grading and a retrofitted roller in use; the change is expected to cut labor and bag-disposal costs.

The full story

The Staff member told the board the town has switched to liquid chloride for dust control, has two leased chloride tanks stored in the salt-and-sand shed, and is on a list to have the tanks filled. The town will retrofit the provided small tank to fit the back of the truck and then use liquid chloride rather than bulk bags, which reduces labor and disposal costs.
