Winter Salt Awareness Week

January 27-31, 2025

Winter Salt Awareness Week is a collaboration of governmental and non-governmental organizations across the United States and Canada. Winter salt use damages infrastructure and threatens the health of lakes, streams, and drinking water. Our goal is to raise awareness around salt pollution and reduction solutions. An informed public can support the adoption of best practices in snow and ice control and advocate for the protection of freshwater resources.

​

THE PROBLEMS:
All the salt that we apply to streets and sidewalks ends up in our freshwater. Salt pollution
is impacting lakes, streams, and drinking water. 

​

THE SOLUTIONS:

By implementing best practices and new technologies, public agencies and private businesses are reducing salt use by 30-50%.

​

Join us each day for FREE webinars, panel discussion,
