Efforts to potentially improve treating Chautauqua County roads during the winter were discussed this week by Brad Bentley, county Public Facilities director. One such effort is using brine, a mixture of salt and water applied to roads before snow arrives.

Public Facilities Director Brad Bentley is always looking for ways to improve salting Chautauqua County’s 550 miles of roads.
Recently he attended some presentations put on by Lake George area municipalities about ways to better salt roads. He shared some of what was discussed at the legislature’s Public Facilities Committee meeting this week.
