Before snow and freezing rain, York Region maintenance staff spray the roads with salty water called “brine.”
This technique prevents snow and ice from bonding with the asphalt surface and makes it easier for plows to remove snow and ice. http://york.ca/roads |

|
|
Too much winter salt on the ground can end up in your drinking water.
