Weeds overgrowing ditch repair

POMEROY–The Garfield County board of commissioners (BOCC) discussed weed growth and wind damage repair at their meeting on August 29.

Ditch repair on the Lewis Road that was done earlier in the year has overgrown with weeds and the commissioners discussed possible strategies to deal with them with County Road Crew Chief Rod Norland. Cutting weeds with a grader, spraying, rogueing, and seeding grass were discussed.

An electrical support at the Garfield County Fairgrounds was damaged, likely by wind, and is being repaired before rain and dust can cause further damage.
