New Plow Truck

The Village of Weston recently received delivery of a new 2016 Mack Plow Truck. This is the 3rd new truck in the Village's fleet over the past 3 years and now the Village has replaced 3 of the 6 plow trucks. The Village Board and staff have been working hard on a comprehensive equipment replacement plan in order to ensure that staff has the equipment necessary to provide quality services to our residents and businesses. With each of the three new trucks, the Village has added a salt brine system which coats the salt with a liquid brine so when the salt hits the pavement it sticks and stays in place.This allows for less overall salt usage and quicker melting of the snow and ice. Thus, reducing costs and increasing service.
