One of the most amazing responses I have received from officials is that CAR WASHING is allowed by certain facilities because:

"Such certified facilities are permitted by the City to continue to operate under stage 2 because they have invested in water conserving equipment and conserve water everyday, not just during drought conditions, and for this permanent investment, they are granted this exemption under stage 2 ordinance. "

How do you consider a clean car washed in a facility that claims to reclaim/recycle their water a form of conservation? Is that dirt dangerous? Can it make you sick?

Taxpaying property owners are prohibited by having their properties kept clean & HEALTHY by professional companies who have invested in water conserving equipment and through proper methods and equipment.

I guess that dirty car paint is way more of a health threat than mildew/mold and other allergens on one's home or gum or other spilled nasty things on sidewalks.

Small businesses (pressure washers, landscapers) did NOT cause this drought - poor government planning, irresponsible management of natural resources and just plain greed have all been major contributing factors.
