Environmental Stewardship Educational Session 
 
The Truth about Water Usage and the Professional Car Wash Industry 
Lecture Detail
Thursday, April 2   (9:45am - 10:45am ) Room Number: N231 
Car washes use much less water, and release much cleaner water, than is recognized by many customers and water regulators.  Research has proven that car washes use a relatively insignificant amount of water for most municipalities, and that car washes serve a valuable environmental role by collecting, separating and/or treating the effluent that is not captured by driveway washing.  Attend this session to learn how you can educate your customers and regulators to protect your business and demonstrate environmental stewardship.
