Two weeks' notice is what the R.M. of Dauphin is requesting from rate payers to give when it comes to applying dust control.
The R.M. has a pre-planned schedule for gravelling roads.
Dennis Forbes, Reeve, want the public to let them know before they apply dust control.
“I’d like to ask our residents that are in the process of providing their own dust control, if they would co-ordinate the application of that dust control with our public works foreman and the office. We need a little heads up preparation time because a number of the roads that people are talking about putting dust control on are slated for gravel.”
People are starting to apply dust control now to roads.
“We would appreciate two weeks, because we have had a number of people in the past day or event this morning, come in and say, ‘we’re putting dust control and l’m going to put it on tomorrow or the next day or the company is coming’ and so on. We can’t recct that quickly to do the gravel maintenance program on that particular road that we have planned on doing this year; so their dust control would be covered. We’re going to do the gravel maintenance, regardless, so if everybody could just co-ordinate their dust control with our office and everybody will enjoy their summer.”
This is to prevent residents who applied dust control before the road is gravelled, from losing the application.
Residents can call the public works office at 638-4531 to find out when their roads are being done and to notify their intention of putting down dust control.
