Our Councilman[8] Fred Blas suggested "just water the roads" At the HPPOA candidate Forum.
I was shown a cost breakdown of that suggestion putting on 1/2 inch of water on 85 miles of dirt roads.
It came out to over 2 million gallons of water
and would take 700 (3000 gal)truck loads,
to do it once a week would take 18 trucks running full time, and would cost about $100,000 per application.
Great idea Fred!
