Working together to keep Freshwater Fresh!

December 2025 Salt Wise webinar poster

We rely on salt to keep our roads safe in the winter and to soften water in our homes year-round but using more salt than is needed comes with a heavy price. In Wisconsin and much of the United States, chloride from salt is infiltrating into our lakes, streams and groundwater.  Learn more about #thetruecostofsalt and how you can make a difference.

 
 

bucketsIt 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 promote best practices!
