Chip Sealing in Harmony

Starting the week of August 16th, Rock County Pulbic Works will be doing the Chip Sealing in the Grandview, Rolling Hills and Vineyard Subdivisons.  This work was planned to be done much eariler in the year but with the Covid outbreak the Public Works Department had to close for almost 2 months setting their schedule far behind.  Chip Sealing is where they lay down a liquid coat of tar and place small rock chips over.  This can extend the life of a road by up to 10 years.  Then sometime in the next two weeks a sweeper vacuum will go over the roads to sweep up a major portion of the lose chips.  Yes some of the chips end up in the ditchlines but these get integrated into the soil very quickly.  Once the chips are down please drive slowly on the roads.
