In recent years, Lake County has seen an increase in chloride levels in streams, lakes, and ponds due to road salt run-off. Salt isn't biodegradable so it stays in our environment and can be toxic to aquatic life. In this video, learn how Lake County is using environmentally friendly liquid alternatives. Watch now.
