Codes Compliance 6 assigned this issue to Rob G

The individual washing cars, including ours, occasionally- not routinely- in our driveway is a friend and neighbor who is a conscientious, hardworking pre-med college student. The water he uses is cycled through our water conditioner on city water so we pay for it. There is a lot of residential parking on both sides of 1st St S, but neither the street nor alley is ever blocked. Neighbor, you need to spend your time and energy supporting your neighbors, not playing a nasty game of GOTCHA. I am glad to put my name to my reports and comments. Sandee Irvin

From Pinellas County Water Restrictions:
"Car washing is not restricted, but the use of an automatic shutoff device is required."
This is if the water is from the Water Department of St. Petersburg.
Reclaimed water (purple pipes) cannot be used for car washing.
Driveway car washing is not the most environmentally sound practice.
Any soap, chemicals, debris flows down the driveway and eventually goes into the storm drains and then into the bay.
I do not know the consequences of running a business like this from a residence.

Water Resources visited the reported location and went over the City's water use guidelines with the individual. We will continue to post any updates we receive on this issue. Thanks again, Mayor's Action Center
