The battle of Chanhassen Lakes begins today! Adopt a storm drain over the next two weeks and support this year’s Lake Challenge Champion. The highest percentage of new drains adopted takes the crown (bragging rights) and will be named on May 1. Sign up: mn.adopt-a-drain.org/.

Whenever it rains and there’s snow melt there could be a lot of scenes with snow and ice clogging storm drains, causing localized flooding around drains and on streets. ☔ You can help prevent this flooding by keeping your local storm drains, like this one, clear this winter.

Minnesota has struggled to kick the habit of over-salting winter sidewalks and roads, and "Low Salt, No Salt Minnesota" targets private contractors to cut chloride pollution. startribune.com/low-salt-no-…

Sidewalk covered in compacted snow and ice? If your shovel can't do the job, try an ice chisel instead! Using the right tools will help you avoid unnecessary salt and deicing chemicals, which find their way into our rivers, lakes and groundwater. #MWMOgoodneighbor #smartsalting

It snowed! Now what??
1. Shovel before snow turns to ice
2. Select sand for traction
3. Scatter salt only where you need it
4. Sweep up leftover salt and sand to reuse
Because one teaspoon of salt permanently pollutes five gallons of water.

If you haven't winterized your #rainbarrel yet, it's about that time of year! Don't let the water freeze and damage your barrel. Make sure to drain it, disconnect it from your downspout, remove and clean the components, rinse it out and store it somewhere safe from the elements.

“I found a bug!”
“What is muck?”
“Look at the fish!”
“I’m gonna help you bug!”
“I’ll hold you so you don’t fall in!”
