Spot Over Salting

Most people who are applying salt don't understand that impacts of salt on our infrastructure and freshwater resources. People apply salt liberally to ensure public safety and avoid lawsuits.

If you see a resident/neighbor who is overusing salt, please have a conversation with them or use our outreach tools to leave a handout or door hanger.

In the City of Madison, oversalted public sidewalks can be reported directly to the City through their "Sidewalk Concerns" form.
