"I'm sure we've used our $10,000 up," Wanlass said.
Wanlass said the city might let the salt and cinder inventory run lower than usual. The city keeps
extra stockpiles and typically restocks throughout the winter, he said.
"If the account gets thin, then we'll just hold off on restocking inventory until the new year,"
Wanlass said.
Provo also keeps materials in stock and has already gone through the 350 tons of leftover salt
from last year. So far, Provo has used 790 tons, or half of the salt budget, said Scott Peppler,
public service manager.
Many of the Provo employees are taking compensation time rather than overtime so that area of
the budget isn't a concern yet, he said.
"We're not hurting right now, but if it keeps going like this, there could be some problems,"
Peppler said.
It's too early in the snow season to tell whether the Utah Department of Transportation, which
maintains the state roads and highways, will use all of the money budgeted for snow removal this
year, said Geoff Dupaix, a UDOT spokesperson. If the state is hit with more big storms and
UDOT uses the almost $13 million allocated, other monies are available, he said.
"We have some flexibility to our budget, as it refers to snow removal," Dupaix said.
The snowstorm that lasted from Christmas to Dec. 28 alone cost UDOT more than $3.6 million
statewide, Dupaix said.
