CITY OF WHITEWATER, UW-WHITEWATER, AND WI SALT WISE HOST SMART SALTING WORKSHOP
Best Practices in Winter Maintenance

The City of Whitewater and UW-Whitewater invite area municipalities,
school district staff, local contractors, and all others involved in winter maintenance to join them
in learning the latest in smart salt practices. Staff at the City and UW-Whitewater campus have
made significant improvements to their winter maintenance program by calibrating their
equipment and incorporating salt brine in their winter maintenance toolbelt. In collaboration with
Wisconsin Salt Wise, the City and University hope to share what they have learned and facilitate
conversations around best practices in winter maintenance.

Wisconsin Salt Wise, event co-sponsor, is a coalition of organizations from across
Wisconsin working together to reduce salt pollution in our lakes, streams, and drinking water.
Our primary goals are to: educate residents, leaders and winter maintenance professionals on
salt pollution and solutions, provide training, and promote best practices and recognize
contractors committed to using the right amount of salt for conditions.
Wisconsin Salt Wise’s Allison Madison stated, “All the salt that we put down on our sidewalks,
driveways and roads ends up in our lakes, streams, and drinking water. We need all winter
maintenance professionals using best practices to protect our freshwater resources.” Visit
