March 2005 20.21 districtdistrict DISTRICTS - the Netherlands contends
in these snow-full and gladde summon at several places with
strooizouttekort. Different municipalities have warned their
inhabitants that they improve Friday but within can remain, because
they are by their stock strooizout gone. salt suppliers work
with guard lists. winter district, Oosterhout, almere and
Woensdrecht have for example still small voorraadje pekel with which
only the head ways can be still kept clean. Just Saturday winter
district can expect a new supply strooizout, Woensdrecht Tuesday.
, road users must be Friday very careful or simply at home
remain '', say for the of winter district. Almere did the same
warning go out. Not only the zouttekort, also the strict frost
smoothens the ways. realm water state states that if it freezes
very hard the functioning of salt diminishes. The achterhoekse
municipality can scatter winter district still with sand or split
(type gravel). This makes the wegdek, however, something
stroever, but solves the gladheid not entirely. Other
municipalities, such as Zaanstad, also choose for this solution, or
mix their salt with sand (Haarlemmermeer). Alkmaar have stopped
with distributing salt to citizens in the problems not come.
Oosterhout only still scatter in crisis situations. Should
fall there the coming days still much snow, then the noord-Brabantse
chooses municipality snow with sneeuwschuivers to firstly fly at and
and further scatter sand. Moreover is possible but limits with
sand to be worked, because it is bad for the sewerage, slightly a
spokesman of the municipality Oosterhout. Also almere schuift
snow on smaller ways and bicycle paths instead of scattering. As
a result, the Stadsreiniging do not have enough time Thursday and
Friday pick up detritus. Hoogheemraadschap Dutch Noorderkwartier
(HHNK) has barrels still 40 strooizout, what is sufficient for
complete strooibeurt. The hoogheemraadschap, responsibly for the
management in country areas in water country, west-Friesland and a
part of the head of noord-Holland, fears to problems if it will snow
by Saturday violently. The stockses are just then replenished.
The previous days the hoogheemraadschap has consumed 3000
barrels salt. realm water state zuid-Holland says no have
problems. The supplier has provided only half of the ordered
strooizout, but with that saves zuid-Holland it. Woensdrecht
were not this way happy, which get municipality of the desired 60
barrels by time there only 17 supplied. realm water state in the
northern provinces has more than salts enough. Also the province
friesland has zat salts. salt suppliers salt euro alto and
Frisia no problems say have with the supplies. Frisia salt can
serve the fixed customers. Supply for extra applications of
others can a couple last days. euro alto has also enough stock,
but gives priority to fixed customers and adopts moemnteel no new
customers. (c) DUTCH PRESS AGENCY
