Frequently asked questions
Where does the wastewater go when my portable car wash bay is used?
This will depend on the location of your site and the type of wastewater being disposed of. To remain compliant with local water authorities, the wastewater can be disposed of by:
Making an arrangement with Cleanawater operators for wastewater removal
Discharging directly into a sewerage system but you must have a licence to discharge to the sewer
Discharging to a septic tank effluent disposal scheme (STEDS) — in this case, you or a Cleanawater representative can contact the council to ensure the wastewater will be accepted
Recycling the water through a unit which removes the pollutants, allowing you to reuse the water
What if I don't have access to a sewer system on my site?
If you don't have access to a sewerage system, the wastewater from the washbay can be redirected to a holding tank which can be emptied by a Cleanawater operator. As licenced liquid waste collectors and contractors, we can efficiently remove wastewater while remaining compliant with industry standards.
