Salty Streets = Salty Streams

  • Deicers are not a substitute for shoveling. They work together to ensure you have a clear path to walk. Please do not overapply deicer or salt. 
  • Try to shovel snow onto vegetated surfaces to allow the snowmelt to soak into the ground instead of flowing into the street. 
  • Melting snow carries deicers and other pollutants into the storm system, which drains to the nearest waterbody.
