Washing your Car

Take Action

Take your car to the car wash, lay back and relax. Wash your car on a lawn or over a landscape area to absorb the liquid and limit the runoff from your property.

Why

Dirty cars tend to have oils, sediment, paint chips and etc. on the surface of the vehicle. When you wash your car in your driveway or street, the dirty water from the vehicle flows to the nearest storm drain and ends up in our lakes and rivers. See video about minimizing runoff while you wash your car. 

City Commitment

All City operation vehicles are washed under a covered area and the wash water drains to the sanitary sewer treatment plant.
