Speaker: Alan Van Wormer, Highway Superintendent , Town of New Baltimore, NY
Could you describe your overall experience with ProMelt winter liquids?
Alan Van Wormer: Our experience with the liquids from innovative has been all positive. Um, as I said earlier, we, we, uh, we're having an issue with our salt freezing and it doesn't anymore. Um, we put it directly onto our roads to treat it, the salt, we treated our liquid and it melts very quickly. It works very, very well. Um, I would definitely encourage others to try it.
How are ProMelt winter liquids different from other winter liquid options?
Alan Van Wormer: Um, we have not used any other liquids other than what we get from, um, innovative. Um, but I can tell you it's, it's like night and day, not having it and then having it, um, it makes your process so much more efficient. Um, and it's gonna, it will save us money in the long run because it, it works so well.
What’s one story of success that wouldn’t have been possible without ProMelt winter liquids?
Alan Van Wormer: Well, I think our, our most success story would be, um, the fact that the salt works so well with the additive with the, with the liquid. Um, on my end anyways, it's, we've cut down on overtime. We're not out as long when we go out plowing, um, stuff hits the road and it melts a lot quicker. So, you know, the guys are out and back quicker and it actually saves us some money on, uh, payroll as well.
On a scale of one to ten, how likely are you to recommend ProMelt winter liquids to others?
Alan Van Wormer: Um, on a scale of 1 to 10, I would say, without a doubt 10. Um, I would definitely promote it. I would definitely recommend it. Um, we've used it for quite a while now and it's definitely worked for us. I think. In fact, we may have been one of the first in Green County to use it and then we passed the word around and, and Green County is really starting to use it. Starting to come on board.
