The townships pay for the application of chloride on gravel roads in their township, and each township contracts with the Road Commission to take care of this. The townships in Berrien County contract for one or two applications spread out over the summer.

In the summer, roads are always graded prior to having chloride applied. If your road needs graded, please call our office. In addition, we try to blade gravel roads after it rains and the road has softened up. In the winter, we must wait until the frost is out of the roads before we can grade them.
