News & Views | Vadnais Heights Keep Freshwater Fresh with Smart Salt Storage Salt prematurely ages vehicles, roads, and bridges. It degrades freshwater lakes, streams, and drinking water. Just one teaspoon of salt permanently pollutes five gallons of water. Help keep freshwater fresh this winter by following the four "S" strategy: Shovel, Scatter, Switch, Sweep. One final "S" is key to this equation: Storage. Any de-icing product left uncovered can pollute local waters. When snow melts or rain falls, it will carry any salt left in its path. Make sure you keep de-icing product covered (with a sealed lid when possible) and indoors to protect our community's waters and wildlife. Learn more about salt pollution and success stories during Winter Salt Week, happening January 26-30. Find more info at wintersaltweek.org and vlawmo.org/residents.
