How Road Salt Impacts Our Health and Infrastructure (Webinar)
Join the Izaak Walton League and WSSC Water to learn how road salt impacts our environment, our health and our infrastructure. The League provides an overview of the Winter Salt Watch program, how you can get involved in this national community science initiative, and how one city is working to combat road salt pollution. Environmental Outreach Coordinator Nicole Horvath discusses how WSSC Water, one of the largest water and wastewater utilities in the nation, approaches the issue of road salt pollution in drinking water. Learn how WSSC provides clean water to nearly 2 million people and how you can make a difference in your community!
