Did you know that 1 teaspoon of salt pollutes 5 gallons of water FOREVER? When de-icing salt (a.k.a. chloride) enters bodies of water, there is no easy way to remove it. Chloride harms plants and animals, contaminates drinking water, damages buildings, and corrodes vehicles, roads and bridges.

To help reduce chloride pollution, the West Metro Water Alliance (WMWA) is offering one-on-one consultations to faith-based organizations to address salt use and improve snow and ice management, all while keeping communities safe, increasing environmental well-being, and decreasing winter maintenance and infrastructure costs.
