The Importance of Proper Car Wash Pit Maintenance

Despite there only being a few car washes in West Virginia, it’s still vitally important that car washes do not discharge into the groundwater. West Virginia has about 46 named rivers with countless tributaries. We want to protect the environment of the West Virginia countryside.

One of the best ways to keep your car wash from polluting the groundwater is to keep your water reclaim system operating properly. This includes cleaning out your car wash pits and disposing of the car wash pit sludge with an environmentally-friendly disposal method.
