can't you just open up a valve while driving down the highway?
Lots of guys do that. If you get stopped here and its plain water you get fined. dont know if you did that with waiste water what would happen.

so how about paying a farmer to dump water where he dumps his antifreeze and used motor oil?
CA state law says that the only thing that can be dumped from a moving vehicle is clear water and live poultry feathers. Dirty water would not be looked at very nicely I am sure.
Who knows who really understands it?? i dont see much difference from rain water run off, it still collects all the loose oil, grease, brake dust, etc. im not saying there souldnt be restrictions, just thought out a little better.
We currently service all of the sams clubs here in vegas and one thing the scope of work states is that all waste water is stored, transported, manifested and disposed of according to all local, state and federal regulations. I know the manager for the Las Vegas water reclamation facility and he stated that it was ok to dispose down a sanitary sewer as long as the water was filtered and no chemicals were being shot down the sanitary sewer. I have explaned this to Walmart and so far have not had any problems. The main thing is that you are complying with all local, state and federal laws.

You also have to watch out for the health district in certain situations.
I tried selling the Sam's club here and they have a specific policy of hauling away the waste water, not processing it and sending the gray water down the sanitary sewer even though I told him about my recovery/reclaim system, the dry wells, etc....
He told me that anyone (even managers) not following this would probably be fired for not following policy on EPA issues like that so this is very hard for me to believe, they shut down the Wal-Mart pressure washing since last summer because of this policy.
I was told that this is a Nationwide policy, not local or a few states. I just talked to the Sam's club manager and assistant manager that I have known for over 15 years yesterday and the policy is still the same.
I just find it very hard to believe that a manager would risk his job to have a store cleaned without following the policy.
Do you have to have a license for operating a business in Vegas? I know some companies do and there are a lot that do not and are risking bad publicity and possible fines and or jail time for operating without a license.
Here there is no license but I wish that there was a requirement so that would cut down on some of the Dumba**es, lowballers and hacks that are in the landscaping or lawnmowing business that jump into the pressure washing business with a cheap machine and have no education, no training or experience and are out there damagaging property and lowering the prices for the reputable businesses out there that are doing good work.
I know that this business is not rocket science but if you have a failing business and you jump into another one without getting any training or learn from others what gives you the right to be pricing to hurt the reputable companies out there that are doing good work and are educated or learned the skills from others out there?
Sorry I went off on a tangent here but sometimes I am passionate about certain things. hahahahaha
I find it very offensive to ask me if I'm liscenced. I have poured countless hours and money into my company. Bottom line is compliance with the EPA. I'm well aware of what I can and can't do. Every city is different as far has disposal of waste water. I have contacted the regional manager, home office, health district, city of las vegas and water reclamation district.
All in all I think you got us mixed up with some washed out landscapers who all of a sudden decided to head on over to local home depot, purchase a dewalt pressure washer and start out on a cold new venture.
