At the end of last Winter a lot was going on regarding road salt, as I recall.
Maybe an update is in order. These are the things I {think I) remember:
1. The Board of Health was working on the situation and reviewing their
records for the last time this was a problem,
2. A citizens committee was monitoring well water of houses in the center of
town for salt,
3. The Town Coordinator was going to order a trial amount of a very expensive
pretreatment chemical as a test,
4. To determine if the entire aquifer was polluted, well water at the school
and the house behind Croak's both of which are somewhat distant from public
ways were going to be tested for salt.
5. One house with very high salt and a resident's health problem was receiving
bottled water.
6. A citizens committee was monitoring salt purchases, which was showing a
distinct decline in tonnage bought over the course of last winter. Has this
continued into this Winter?
7. The Selectboard adopted a salt policy, or perhaps and interim salt policy?
What is the result of all these goings on?

Subject: [The-L] Salt on the Roads??? Here we go again
Not sure what's going on... I believe I just saw the town highway guys out and
about spreading salt all over 78. It's 40 degrees and we've already had the
town salinate our wells. I thought the selectboard had asked the town highway
department to limit the salt application in the center of town? What's going
on???
