Salt: The sign of things to come


» Read similar stories filed under:

It was a short report but meaningful.

Each month, Dave Bendzick, Jordan Public Works director, provides the city council with an hour-by-hour detail of the time the members of his department spend doing their tasks. 

The city had spent six months without any tallies in the snow removal category of the report, but on Monday, Bendzick noted to the council that one hour in October was expended in that area.

"We had to salt some bridge decks," he said. "A trend of things to come."

The impending winter had the forward-thinking public works director looking back at how much snow fell last December. He said he thinks Jordan, which buys its salt through the state, has enough salt to last this winter.

The state guarantees it will have 120 percent of what the city orders, he added, but he's not worried about a shortage of salt, like some cities were last year.

"If you do run out, somebody has it," Bendzick said. "There are other places to get it."
