Sioux Falls, SD (KELO-AM) Minnehaha County is replacing thousands of rural address markers because they faded too fast.
County Roads Chief, DJ Buthe, says they noticed the premature fading just in time - within 6 months of the warranty expiring. He says the new markers will be free. They usually cost about $10 each.
These are the small blue and white signs that firefighters and other emergency responders use to find homes out in the country or on gravel roads.
