In the event that Highway 105 is widened to two lanes in each direction, the sight distance requirement would increase from 595' to 700'. Highway 105 and County Line Road are truck-rated. Others roads in the Town limit truck weight to 10,000 pounds. It takes a lot of water to make concrete. Figures range from 45 to 75 gallons per cubic yard.
Additional water is used to clean the trucks when they return from job sites.
Ready-mix trucks can carry up to 10 cubic yards of concrete and an additional 150 gallons of water. That is a maximum of 600 to 900 gallons of water per load. That works out to 60 to 113 gallons per minute or 720,000 to 1.35 million gallons per 20 day month. Most of this water usage would be concentrated in the summer months just when residential usage peaks. Water shortages and rationing are likely.
