Islanders are being urged to avoid using salt to clear snow from driveways and pathways.
Guernsey Water said salt isn't used to clear Guernsey's roads because it can easily get into the island's water supply.
Margaret McGuinness, from the service, says people should look for "alternative methods" to clear snow.
"We depend on surface water, we have no ground water so we have to collect all our water from the surface, from the rain, storage in the quarries. So we don't want salt to get into the areas that we collect. Avoid salting if you possibly can."

Work will start east of the Le Perquage car park and continue for 13 weeks.
The proposal to raise the sea wall at the Gunsite to reduce the risk of flooding was first put forward by the States in 2015.

Parishioners in Jersey have voted to go ahead with plans for an extension to provide facilities for disabled people at one of the island's historic churches.
About 300 people packed into St Lawrence Parish Hall with 200 others listening in from a primary school next door.
The controversial plans were approved three years ago but were halted when some said the historic building needed protection and were concerned for the fabric of the building.
The Reverend Phil Warren said he was thrilled with the result.
"'I'm really pleased with the turnout. To have 500 people come to vote on this has been tremendous. I'm very grateful for them coming out on a cold night."
In the final vote, there were 275 votes for the work to go ahead and 92 votes against.
