Tonganoxie City Council members approved a purchase of rock salt for the upcoming winter season.

The council approved the lowest bid from Central Salt for roughly 100 tons of rock for $6,840. As the city has done in previous years, public works staff utilized bids from Leavenworth County’s 2026 salt bid. The price is $62.19 per ton. Last year’s lowest bid also was Central Salt at $58.67 per ton. The $6,840 will cover an additional 5-10 tons more than the amount ordered due to variables such as shipping load capacity.
