🚰With snow in the forecast, remember to protect your pipes from freezing and use winter salt responsibly. Too much salt can wash into our rivers and streams, affecting drinking water, wildlife, and local infrastructure. #WinterSaltSmart #ProtectYourPipes

Instructions for effective salt use at home include shoveling early, treating based on temperature, using a small amount, and storing excess salt.
As we prepare for winter weather, remember to be #WinterSaltSmart
While salt helps get rid of ice, too much can be harmful to our drinking water, aquatic life, trees, vegetation, vehicles, pipes and infrastructure.
It can also harm our pets. Don’t over do it.

A little salt goes a long way. Excess slat makes its way into our streams, harms plants and is bad for pets. #WinterSaltSmart www.arlingtonva.us/Government/Programs/Sust...

That's one small step for man, one giant waste for mankind. More melter doesn't mean more melting. A 12-ounce mug of the stuff is enough for a 20-foot driveway. Too much is bad for plants and the watershed, plus it doesn't work below 15 degrees F. #WinterSaltSmart

Today and tomorrow will be optimum days to deal with lingering, unaddressed icy sidewalks. Monday will be too late and temps can drop so low that melter doesn't melt. #WinterSaltSmart www.arlingtonva.us/Government/P...

Maybe too much melter. For a 20-foot driveway or about 10 sidewalk squares, you only need a 12-ounce mug's worth of salt. Too much is bad for pets, plants and the watershed. Spread the word. #WinterSaltSmart https://buff.ly/3SFOVob

Excess de-icing product harms plants, aquatic life and is bad for pet paws. Use enough to make walkways safe, but protect the environment by not using more than you need. #ArlWX #WinterSaltSmart www.arlingtonva.us/Government/P...
