There are some basic truths surrounding our livelihood of cleaning that we all share. Here are some of them:
There is a limited global supply of water. Keeping that water clean is of utmost importance, but is getting tougher every day. The world we live in is dirty and getting dirtier every day without our help. These two situations seem to be in conflict, but the reality is that we are all on the same field, working towards the same goal.
That goal? Keeping it all clean for us and future generations, the best way we know how.

Many states have tough regulations concerning water resources.
Keeping the water clean has been at the forefront for some time, and has been the reason for increased enforcement of the Clean Water Act on local and regional levels.
The latest problem though, is a lack of water in general. High drought conditions are seemingly everywhere and people are really concerned. This lack of water has led to increased water restrictions being enacted, which has led to power wash contractors being unable to properly care for the environment they live in. While this saves water, the eventual problem is not just the financial peril of the contractor, but is also the continued buildup of oils on America's parking lots, drive-thru's, and parking decks.
Now, when it does rain, the increased accumulations will wash down the storm drains and cause accelerated pollution levels. A lack of water can actually increase pollution.

 
Here are some of the most common rules that state, regional, and local jurisdictions are implementing or have implemented:

Rule #1 Nothing but rain down the drain.
The simple slogan that many have adopted to clarify water quality control laws

Rule #2 No chemicals, soaps and especially no acid cleaners.
Some areas have forbidden the use of detergents unless expensive and complicated water recapture devices are utilized.
 
Rule # 3 Never discharge captured water off property.
It is a violation and can have extreme with penalties such as: Cities- $2000.00 per day, State-$10,000.00 per day, EPA (federal)-$25,000.00 per day.
 
Rule # 4 Know the laws in your state. Ignorance is not an acceptable defense for non-compliance.
Check with your local Water Control Board or your Department of Water Resources if you do not know the laws.
  
 
Protecting the environment and its natural resources should be a concern to every person in America. When each person does their part, however small a role, the benefits to the country will carry forth to succeeding generations. It is our belief that the land is worth protecting and America must lead by setting a good example for all countries to follow. Therefore, we would encourage you to join in your own way to continue to support the ideals of "freedom and protection for all" to include your environment and your natural resources.
