North Carolina Governor Signs Carwash Water Conservation Certification Bill

The North Carolina Professional Carwash Association is proud to announce the passage of North Carolina House Bill 1236. HB 1236 recognizes voluntary carwash water conservation certification programs to encourage and promote the use of year round water conservation and water use efficiency measures.

The bill also states that a local government that provides public water service or large community water system shall recognize and credit commercial carwashes that have met the standards of the certification program. Carwashes certified under the program shall not be required to reduce consumption more than any other class of commercial or industrial water users during a water shortage emergency.

Since 2002 North Carolina has experienced three major droughts which led to the creation of the North Carolina Professional Carwash Association. This is a major victory for the carwash industry in North Carolina. It will provide a vehicle for carwash operators to conserve water and receive credit for using water efficiently while also protecting their business interest.

Governor Perdue signed the bill into law on August 26th, 2009. The bill had passed the NC House of Representatives by a vote of 115 to 0, and the NC Senate by a vote of 45 to 0. We were very excited with the bi-partisan support this initiative received from all levels of our state government.
