tgrasso0445 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Hi Keith, Quick question from a newbie here in Calgary. If I was my car in the alley behind my house where there are no storm drains, is that permitted? Thanks, Tom Grasso Quote Link to comment
Perci Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Technically, if the water/soap/stuff can flow to a drain, no. They tend to go after businesses, who can pay the fine (max $20,000), so if your neighbours don't complain.... Having said that I use a 3 bucket technique(1 soap and 2 rinses) taught to me by a 25 year concours judge, inside my garage, and then pour the old water into the regular sewer.

Keith Adams Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 Despite my admonishment, I wash my car in my driveway, as the slope of it causes all the water to go into my garden, where the biodegradable soap can be taken care of. Plus I wash my car about once a year, so I'm sure I'm not overloading the system I'd agree with Perci - if it doesn't hit a drain, you're probably OK. By-law enforcement in Calgary is by complaint, so your neighbours would have to rat you out. Quote Link to comment
