Serious issue, indeed! Read on another board about a truck washer with a suction system running on a generator. The generator ran out of gas, stopped and the water started overflowing his dams. Just so happened the water department inspector came along with a crew. Opened the manhole and ordered him to suck the little soap and water out of the storm drain. No fine just a lot of finger waving. He had to write a letter of explanation to the city. If he didn't have a sucking system the city would have really nailed him. EPA would have had him pay to have the sewer sucked clear to the nearest river according to the city man. At least a hundred grand. And it ain't covered by insurance. I have started noticing alot more dirty trucks, at least around here. We dropped out of truck washing before the fit hit the shan. Companies just don't want to pay for your extra expense and if you get caught they'll find somebody else, maybe even cheaper.

The end is near!
