Are we the bad guys?

It feels in many ways that 'we' are treated like the bad guys, contaminating our nation, poisoning the water supply. When talking about outdoor cleaning, if we didn't show up or do anything - ITS ALL GOING DOWN THE STORMDRAIN!

And to the property owner, we're the one who's going to get them a huge fine!

We didn't make the mess. If we remove one speck of contamination, we're allready in the plus column!

In areas subjected to rain that drain to US waterways, shouldn't the city encourage us to remove CONTAMINANTS - NOT 'WATER' -from the property?

Work - Filter - Release With less pollution than was allready there

For regular commercial property that gets rained on how about a tax or fee which goes down with any recovery and filtering done. What a boost for our market! We actually save the owners money by having our service! Encouragement instead of threats and punishment. And cleaner water. We'll be filtering our butts off! That type of cost would get passed to the tennants and then passed to the consumers (all of us) who are responsible for the mess. After all it's just a byproduct of normal everyday life.

I hope the UAMCC and anyone else representing us will take as a cause the promotion of our industry as the 'good' guys, cleaning up the world.

Wow. I like it.
 
Some good ideas. A tax break for property owners who have their "contamination" properly filtered and disposed of could give pressure washers a new level of credibility.
 
I have been drawing up a reclaim, recycle and reuse syestem for a trailer. Not for everyday use, but for special jobs with alot of visibility. I like the idea of publlic awareness, educating them on the great environmental service we provide.
