A lot of residents in the county that reside on gravel roads find the dust bothersome and like to purchase dust control for their road frontage. The Road & Bridge department supports those endeavors for Cass County homeowners who choose to purchase an application of magnesium chloride. Once you purchase your dust control solution the County will prep your road prior to your application and monitor the use of maintenance equipment after the roadway is treated. It is important to know that road prep is critical for optimum performance and we will prep your road at no cost after you have purchased dust control for your road frontage.
