Be "Salt Wise"

MCDEP, MCDOT and WSSC Water are emphasizing the impact excessive salt use can have on the environment. 

Salt runs off into storm drains, local streams and eventually, to the Potomac and Patuxent rivers. Those waterways are drinking water sources for 1.9 million residents in Montgomery and Prince George’s counties. Salt can corrode concrete and masonry, harm pets, damage surrounding plants and lawns and adversely impact the water supply.
