ELKINS — Elkins city officials say there is no threat that the Street Department will run out of road salt this winter.
Assistant Street Department Supervisor Jim Yorkey told The Inter-Mountain that the city acquired close to eight tons of road salt last week, enough to last for an extended period of time.
