Brining is something to think about, it is possible to save the village money in the long run. More research will need to be done for the village, it seems to be a cost savings. Perhaps in March there will some places selling a used brine system. Baehr Street residents are pushing the snow across the road into the ditch which is causing flooding problems during the rains.
