The Improved Winter Maintenance: Good Choices for Clean Water DVD was created to help individuals understand the impacts of winter maintenance on our waters and provide information on improved practices to reduce environmental impacts.
Did you ever think about what happens to the thousands of tons of salt that is applied to roads, parking lots and sidewalks in winter? Most of it ends up in our lakes, rivers, streams and wetlands. As a result, clean water in the Twin Cities is in jeopardy.
Watch this 15-minute video to learn a few easy things about tools, techniques and products that you can use to keep your driveways and sidewalks safe AND protect our waters. No salt, or very little salt, is needed if you've done a good job of snow removal. With good choices, winter maintenance will become easier for you and help protect our water resources.
