The water witch wishes you a happy Halloween! She's putting a spell on you to skip the salt and shovel or sweep any sidewalk slush. 🧹

The conditions aren't right for de-icing salt to work. It will wash down the storm drains to our lakes & rivers, causing chloride pollution. 😱

[Capitol Region Watershed District @CapitolRegionWD]

While salt melts ice and can help keep us safe in the winter, it has many negative impacts.
You can help shape our Chloride Management Plan by completing a survey about your level of concern about salt use. Follow the link & scroll down for the survey.

Protect clean water by using less salt this winter. Salt harms pets and wildlife and pollutes groundwater, lakes, and rivers. Just one teaspoon of salt contaminates five gallons of water!
