Be careful with how much salt you use on your driveway and sidewalks this winter!  Too much salt washes off into storm drains which all lead to the Blanchard River. 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Shovel first, then salt. Do not use salt in place of shoveling.
2. Use only the effective amount of salt. Grains should be three inches apart. One cup of salt will cover a 20-foot driveway.
3. Use salt only where and when necessary.
4. Sweep up any residual salt once the ice has melted and before the next rainfall event.
5. Use salt sparingly and only at temperatures above 15 degrees. It doesn’t work below that temperature.
