They make different size melters, Middletown would probably do fine with a smaller sized unit. What i want to know is why are we still using a salt/sand mix for our roads when just about every other town around us has switched to s salt or treatedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6844475919675784308.post-9461573853643725302009-01-12T17:25:00.000-05:002009-01-12T17:25:00.000-05:00Actually, I love the "heat the snow, dump it in th...Actually, I love the "heat the snow, dump it in the drain" idea, and wonder if it really works. That way, the water goes to the treatment plant, doesn't it? Also, sorry Mr. Eye, but you can't leave the snow on the wide sidewalk, since it melts unevenly and causes lots of trouble with accidents (i.e. lawsuits).
