Businesses

How can your business help keep our waterways clean? 

Be sure to keep all storm drains in front of your business clean. Take some time to ensure that there are no leaves, trash, sticks, and more keeping the storm drains clogged. Do your part in keeping our waterways clean!

Be Wise!

Shovel

Shovel more! Use less salt, and shovel walkways, driveways, and streets more! 

Scatter

Don't oversalt! Scatter the grains far apart. 20 feet of concrete only needs about a cup full of salt.

Switch

Switch to sand! If the temperature is below 15 degrees, switch from salt to sand. 

Select

Select a certified contractor! Check to see if your contractor is following the Winter Salt Certification Program.

It only takes 1 teaspoon of salt to pollute 5 gallons of water to a level that is toxic for freshwater ecosystems. We can all work together to use the right amount of salt!
