Car wash

Wash your car in a car wash. It's easy and you don't have to do anything yourself. Every time you wash your car, harmful substances such as shampoo, oil, and rubber residues are released. If you wash your car in front of your house, contaminants can end up in surface water via the street drain. The water from many street drains ends up directly in a ditch via a rainwater or infiltration sewer. This is bad for the quality of the groundwater and aquatic life in the ditch. The dirty water from a car wash is reused, filtered, and ultimately goes through the sewer to the sewage treatment plant.

Costs

Depending on the car wash and the programme choose, there are costs associated with washing your car in the car wash or in a wash bay.

Tips

• The car wash reuses water, which means less drinking water is wasted when washing your car.
• The water is filtered and reused after use.
• Ultimately, it is discharged via the sewer system to the sewage treatment plant.
