Winter Salt Awareness Week

Eden Prairie is participating in Winter Salt Awareness Week Jan. 26–30 to raise awareness about salt pollution and reduction solutions. The main ingredient used in road salt — chloride — is a pollutant, and when salt enters water it's more difficult for plants and animals to survive and reproduce. Find ways to reduce your salt use at edenprairiemn.gov/ReduceSaltUse.
