Winter Maintenance Workshop for Residents: Watch on Demand Now

Posted by PLSLWD Staff - December 22, 2020 - News, Prior Lake, Spring Lake

The Winter Maintenance Workshop for homeowners was last week, but don’t worry if you missed it because it’s now available online. You can watch it on the Scott SWCD’s YouTube channel here!

Salt smartly this winter. Did you know it only takes 1 teaspoon of salt to permanently pollute 5 gallons of water? Winter salt use is a major contributor to salt pollution in our freshwater lakes and streams. The good news is simple winter maintenance strategies can protect local freshwater from salt pollution.

Learn how to save money, reduce your salt use and protect your property from salt damage while keeping your driveway clear and lakes & streams clean!
