Reply to comment by jvanstone in Nearly all of California exits the worst drought categories in U.S. Drought Monitor by pneumatichorseman

I'm sure there are but I don't live in a county that has enacted those rules. My county only says you have to have a nozzle on the hose so as to not have the water running down the drain the entire time you wash your car. Seems like a pretty fair rule to me.

The mindset of I can use all the water I want as long as I pay for it is fairly shortsighted in my opinion. Especially in a location with such bad drought issues. There were/are municipalities that nearly are out of water for drinking. To "waste" it to keep your car clean because you paid for it would be a dick move in my opinion.

I paid a lot of money for my car and for the water I use once a month to wash it. I'm on my own property using the water I bought and I don't care if anyone is butthurt.

This is all well and good but so many counties in cali temporarily banned washing cars at home. You can take ‘em to a professional car wish but it’s overpriced and they are likely to scratch your car. Drought which is now resolving itself slowly.
