Additional Phase IV Water Restrictions for Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas Counties
On March 31, 2009, the District Governing Board voted to tighten water restrictions for all of Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas counties.
Effective Dates
-These restrictions go into effect on April 3, 2009.
-They are scheduled to expire on June 30, 2009.
Car and Pressure Washing
-Residential car washing is now prohibited.
-Charity car washes are now prohibited.
-Commercial car wash operations are allowed. However, cars for sale or lease may not be routinely washed; they may be washed immediately prior to sale or lease.
-Pressure washing conducted by commercial businesses is allowed for certain purposes, which include cleaning to eliminate a safety hazard, preparation for painting or similar activity, maintaining a paint or material warranty, and as needed to meet federal, state or local health and safety standards.
Anyone else having to deal with similar restrictions? Obviously the restrictions go beyond car washing, but I didn't see a need to post the rest.

That is just nuts about those restrictions. And the fines that go along with it are rediculous too!
Yea, the fines are just retarded.. I think it's $180 per offense in my area.. not positive on that though. And yea, the lawn restrictions are horrible here too.. once-a-week watering allowed. Just brutal..

That's what I'm saying! Not to mention, I don't want some random dickwad touching my car.. haha. Luckily, we have a few self-service car wash stations around here that are excluded from the ban. Not sure of the cost, but I'm sure with the shape of the economy.. it won't be as cheap as I'd like..
Once-a-month car washes coming up..
well you can always go to autozone or pep boys or something and get that no water spray crap you just hit with ur car and wipe off. Im sure its not cheap though
iunno about the the rain here is almost non-existent , my neighbors are trying to make a swamp from the looks of it lol my grass hasn't been watered in a couple years since my dad killed the sprinkler system

not to mention my car is too low to go threw most of the autobell sorta places
theres only one place in my whole area that I can get my car washed at, its a small place a few miles from me its the only one that clears the bottom of my car I hate it though cuz it has no drier!!! So I need to drive to get my car dry and if their cutting grass or doing construction on the pkwy my car is @!#$!!
Yea, exactly. I'm thinking about seeing if I can get one of those 'special' permits.. I always wash my car in my yard.. so technically, I'm watering my lawn..
those automated ones where you drive onto a track, my car is too low to clear those.. I worked at one of those places for 3 yrs, and I've seen some horrid sh*t go down ::shutters::
in that situation, I'd have to hit up a local DIY place and bring my own mitts and whatnot..
