Kingsport gears up for potential snowy season

The City of Kingsport is gearing up for a potential snowy season by inspecting each piece of equipment next week. Officials say every single machine, vehicle, and plow will be checked to make sure everything’s in working order.

The city reportedly has 5,000 tons of salt and 12,000 gallons of salt brine across three storage facilities in preparation for the winter season. Officials noted that last year, Kingsport used more than 33,000 gallons of salt brine for five snow events.
