PORTERVILLE, CA — Both commercial and non-profit carwashes may soon face new regulation concerning unmanaged water runoff, according to the The Porterville Record.
A city ordinance states that a carwash must be able to contain its runoff and has ruled against several commercial carwashes found not to have legal draining systems in the past year, the article said.
City Councilman Cameron Hamilton told the paper that several unregulated, informal carwash events don't meet the runoff standard and have been taking advantage of the city's lax enforcement policy.
Vice Mayor Ron Irish said in the article that he would like to start giving warnings first and revoking permits after a second offense.
