Water dumping fee.

[steamron]

We are in Pennsylvania,

We received a letter from our city wastewater treatment plant in regards to carpet cleaning businesses what type of machine do you use what type of chemicals do you use, where and how do you dump your water?

This often bugs me in regards to a money grab because so many people wash their own vehicles in their driveways so many people clean their decks with deck stripper, bleach, etc so many people do home washing using chemicals that are bad but they can't track them down. They certainly want to track down a carpet cleaning business. The County wants to charge a yearly fee.

What do you guys do?

If the county wants to charge a fee, are they providing you a place to dump?

Tell them I’m a porty hack and a janitor and don’t have carpet cleaning in my name. But, my city does charge a fee, just not to me.

Where I am we have to dump in approved Sani dumps. I have one at my shop. I worked with our regional government to establish water dumping laws and by-laws. Not fun but you should learn to do the right thing.

I got a well maintained pump that puts it right back into their toilet or slop sink.
