Seal Curing Slowly Due To Rainfall In Ottawa
City Manager Lyle Dresher says recent slurry seal on Ottawa streets is not damaged by heavy rains but is slow to cure due to humidity. The modified latex slurry seal, used by Ballou Construction, costs about $1.25 per square yard and cures faster when dry, unlike the chip and seal chosen for Cedar and Ash streets as a temporary measure.
