Managing Snow And Ice At Home In Eden Prairie

Press release from the City of Eden Prairie:

December 3, 2020

Salt used on roads and walkways pollutes local lakes, streams and wetlands, which negatively affects water quality. You can help protect Minnesota’s water resources by decreasing your salt usage.

Start by shoveling well and if you need salt, scatter it widely. If the temperature is below 15 degrees, salt will not work so use sand instead. Finally, collect any undissolved salt for reuse.
