Plymouth County’s Snow Removal Is Still Within Budget

(Le Mars) — While some Iowa counties are seeing their snow and ice removal budgets being stretched to the limit, as a result of several heavy snowfalls and a long lingering winter, Tom Rohe, Plymouth County’s Engineer says the county’s secondary roads department winter budget for ice and snow removal
is holding up well.

Rohe says for some counties that have already exceeded their financial allocation for snow and ice removal budget, may have to delay or forfeit a planned construction project until another year.

Plymouth County uses a mixture of calcium and chloride to melt ice and snow.
Rohe says they still have an abundance of available product to tackle any additional ice and snow for this winter.
