Attachment 4 - Stormwater Managment Plan

  PRO-ACTIVE PUBLIC EDUCATION CAMPAIGN
  ACWA has a policy of working closely with environmental, water and other relevant regulators
  on every level to inform and co-ordinate policies which meet government and industry
  environmental objectives and protect both the life in the waterways and the viable future of
  the car wash industry.
  It is vital that regulators and the public are well-informed about the pollution of the
  waterways which can result from washing vehicles on non-porous surfaces where the waste
  water run-off is not controlled.




  Part of the education campaign should focus on the fact that the waste water run-off at
  licensed commercial car washes is controlled, being plumbed directly into the mains sewers.
  These businesses are providers of a quality sustainable service with water saving and
  stormwater protection benefits that greatly reduce the environmental impact of an everyday
  regular activity.

  for more information on the environmental contamination facts about home car washing.
