Thanks Scott and I saw where Phil posted the same information over on PTSTate.

Just saw a special report/new flash on CNN that the water situation in GA is not going to get better and that the projection is that tighter restrictions will need to be implemented immediately!

here is how I see it
1. Pressure washing of parking lots is prohibited.

How many of you actually are washing parking lots ? Parking lots here are defined as large areas at shopping centers not the parking areas at local convenience stores , rarely are they concrete structures and are normally cleaned with a street sweeper, they dont mention parking decks, but how many are you currently on contract to clean one at this moment ?

2. Pressure washing of commercial buildings for beautification is prohibited.

No problem , switch the reason you are cleaning them form beautification to cleaning for health reasons which is the main reason anyway that most of us are using as a selling tool, mold removal is perfect ! Also people love to find a way to be able to do something someone else says they cant ! Be imaginative , create reasons to do insted of reasons not to , Think positive and be smart , Remember winners win !


I am not bashing just trying to offer you some suggestions , by looking at this thare has only been a 10% reduction in water usage , I dont see a real problem yet , and if you look at the way they are setting it up they are giving you the answers to the problems as well , my oponion , clean for health reasons not beautification , simple ! It is stated right on the same paper , they cant argue with that .

clean for conservation!!! pressure cleaning is conserving....DA

I agree and what we are doing is just passing on informtion from what is coming over the news wires to the different BBS's.

Certainly like the idea about "changing" ones strategy to a health risk approach. Take that to the customer and they will ask you to step aside of their house so that you can show them the mold that is growing...Good luck on that!!

Folks the bottom line is that water rationing/stoppage will have an adverse affect on the washers down south.

Pressure cleaning is the answer to water conservation.

Its uses much less water, no one is stopping they are looking for ideas and resolution.

I need local ankor and groups that want to assist in helping find solutions.

This is what we should be doing instead of complaining about the problem. lets show them as and industry that PW is and alternative method that will clean and conserve water.

[Ron Musgraves]

The feeding of old and incorrect or mis-interpeted info needs to stop.

This is affecting the industry, this is exactly the stuff i was talking about.

We all need to contact Nancy, I will get five dist. for the science we need to show her that pressure cleaning will save water and assist the community with her problems. Kathy.Nguyen@cobbcounty.org <Kathy.Nguyen@cobbcounty.org>

Read the document again folks!!

Ron good chatting with you.

[Ron Musgraves]

Nancy,

She is a very nice lady and very very busy. She didnt realize PW is a form to conserve water.

She has told me you folks have been impacting her time.

I informed her i would get her the materials she has requested. They are currently looking for alternate ways.

[Ron Musgraves]

We could be talking about education in BAMA also?

[Russ Spence]

woo hoo I am in , actually more of Alabama is effected than Georgia , but we dont have the population , and the rednecks here just love to go against whatever the govt says, you get beat down here if you tell someone they are wrong ! hahahaha

It will NEVER stand , there is always a way around almost anything
