Currently, the regulations regarding car wash wastewater discharge in your town require that all car wash operators obtain an NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) permit before they are allowed to discharge wastewater. Furthermore, all operators must install and maintain a pretreatment device such as a filter or grit trap in order to remove dirt, grease and oil from the wastewater. Additionally,operators must also sample and test the effluent for pollutants every month and submit reports to the relevant authority.

In most jurisdictions, car wash wastewater is classified as “industrial wastewater” and must meet certain discharge standards before it can be released into a public waterway. Generally, these regulations specify the type and concentration of pollutants that can be discharged, as well as the technology and operational practices required to reduce pollutant levels in the wastewater. In some cases, they may also require periodic monitoring of water quality at the car wash outlet.
