Tips

Stormwater/ MS4
Stay Smart and Safe This Winter

Do you know that salt and other materials we use to add traction and melt ice and snow can run off into our waterways and contribute to stormwater runoff pollution? Here are a few winter tips:

  • Dispose of shoveled snow in vegetated areas. This will allow the snow to infiltrate instead of becoming runoff.

  • Use de-icing and salts sparingly. Focus on making your walkways and driveways safe but avoid overusing or spreading in vegetated areas or near waterways.

  • Start shoveling early. The more snow you remove, the less salt you will need.

  • Make sure your nearest storm drains are clear. Do not pile snow on storm drains.
