The Rural Municipality of Morris is currently accepting applications from residents for dust control treatment on municipal gravel roads for the 2026 season. Those interested in having dust suppressant applied to the road in front of their property must submit their applications and payment by May 26, 2026.
The municipality offers four pricing options for the service. A standard single application covering 12 feet by 500 feet costs $546.00, which includes a $520.00 base fee plus 5% GST. Other available options include an extra-width application for $705.00, a double-length treatment for $1,092.00, or custom lengths with a 500-foot minimum. By default, the treatment is applied evenly on both sides of a driveway.
Completed applications and cheque payments should be mailed to the RM of Morris office at Box 518, Morris, MB, R0G 1K0. The municipality notes that this program is exclusive to municipal roads and does not cover provincial roads or highways. While the RM plans to have the dust control applied between the end of June and mid-July, the timeline is subject to weather conditions and scheduling.
The dust control service uses Fort Distributors Ltd., which is recognized as a leading supplier of magnesium chloride in the province. The treatment helps minimize dust created by vehicle traffic on gravel roads, improving air quality and visibility for local residents.
