Ohio Town Receives Funding to Tackle Salt Pollution in Waterways
April 10, 2025 - 23:50
Recent water quality testing in Ohio has shown increased salt concentrations in waterways, primarily due to the use of road salt. In response to this growing concern, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded the city of Struthers $18,000 aimed at improving river health through initiatives designed to reduce salt runoff.
The funding will support various projects that focus on sustainable practices to manage and minimize the impact of road salt on local water bodies. Officials in Struthers are optimistic that these efforts will not only enhance the ecological integrity of the rivers but also safeguard the drinking water supply for residents.
Community engagement will be a key component of the initiative, as local residents are encouraged to participate in educational programs about the effects of salt pollution. The EPA’s investment highlights the importance of proactive measures in addressing environmental challenges and promoting healthier ecosystems for future generations.
