Please be advised that the R.M. of Estevan No. 5 will continue to offer dust control in the form of magnesium chloride for the 2026 season.
Council has opted to offer two applications of the dust suppressant for our Ratepayers. As per the R.M. of Estevan’s Policy, the first application will be subsidized at a cost of $300.00 for the standard 500-foot application. Anything over and above the standard 500 feet will be charged at the full cost of the product. The R.M. will be providing gravel (if necessary), equipment and manpower to apply.
Should you decide to receive the second application, you will be responsible for paying the full cost of the product. The application rate of a typical 500 foot site is 1,500L at $0.43/litre (Tax Included) for a cost of $645.00. Please indicate (initial) in Section 3 of the enclosed application if you wish to receive the second application. If this is not initialled, you will not receive the application.
If you are interested in dust control, please fill out the enclosed form, along with payment, and return it to the Municipal office no later than May 1st, 2026. As per RM policy, applications received after the May 1st deadline will be charged at the full product cost.
We understand that everyone is busy. However, these deadlines are important for ensuring a sufficient supply and coordination of the product, as well as for our Public Works staff to efficiently perform the necessary road preparation prior to application.
PLEASE NOTE: We will no longer be sending letter notifications for Dust Control each year.
