Road Salt Threatens Massachusetts Water Supplies
Worcester based geologist Joseph A Sinnott warned that road salt is contaminating public and private water sources across Massachusetts. He cited groundwater tests showing rising salinity, with examples from Upton and Worcester where wells and an underground lake were polluted by salt deposits from street drainage and nearby piles. He urged measures including covering salt piles, reducing salt use, and moving highways away from water bodies to protect Webster Lake and other supplies.
