HAMBURG TOWNSHIP, MICH. — The city board of Hamburg Township, Mich. approved an ordinance that requires residents who use water softeners to switch from using sodium chloride to more expensive potassium chloride, according to an article on whmi.com.

According to Supervisor Pat Hohl, the township must take action to reduce sodium chloride levels, which are more than twice the state’s acceptable limits, the article stated.

Hamburg Township is among 40 Michigan Municipalities that are considering a ban on the use of salt in water softeners, according to the story.

The ordinance will take effect in May. Any resident not in compliance will be fined $75 per quarter, the report stated.
