Salt/Sand is provided by the city for residential use. Salt/sand can be obtained from one of the many conveniently-located sand barrels throughout the city as listed below or at the Public Works complex at 16th & State Streets. Sand barrels are placed in November each year and filled with a salt/sand mix. The barrels are checked and refilled as necessary throughout the winter and removed in the spring when it has been determined that they are no longer beneficial. Sand usage is restricted to Cedar Falls residents only and quantities are limited to two 5 gallon buckets.
