Village residents will have their road cleared of ice and snow by DPW workers using salt bought from Morton Salt out of Chicago.
Morton Salt was awarded the contract with Lake Orion on Sept. 13.
The company’s low bid was $38.04 with a 50 ton minimum. Cargill Incorporated bid $39.73 and North American Salt’s bid was $45.17.
