USE SAND AS ICE MELT THIS WINTER

The City of Sioux City Engineering Division advises residents who have installed new sidewalks and/or driveways during the 2023 construction season to use sand (plain) for ice melt this winter. The use of sand follows guidance shared recently by The Iowa Concrete Paving Association (ICPA) regarding the harmful effects of deicer chemicals on new concrete pavements. The ICPA advises using plain sand during the first winter after new pavement has been installed to increase the life of a new sidewalk and/or driveway.

This recommendation also applies to sidewalks and driveways that were installed with a City project (ie. Stone Park Blvd., Rebecca Street, Kings Highway, Dodge Avenue, etc.).

Additional information about the use of deicers and the harm they can cause to new pavement can be found here.
