Chemicals and Hot water use Banned in Houston

Ron I was with you for 12 hours and I stilll don't know what the rules are. You never told me what you learned.
 
If I lived in the Houston area I would go by the maintenance facilities where they wash buses,police cars, heavy equipment, and take pics and videos of the city breaking their own laws.....
 
I just don't get it...

Who gave them this much authority to call these shots?

The money they will make for the city of Houston. Its all about money

The feds say do CWA or we will pull your funding...millions. plus all the fines and civil penalties that they will get from contractors
 
Pop Quiz:

1) Where in the Bible does it say "Cleanliness is next to Godliness"?

2) Where in the CWA does it say (or even allude to) "nothing down the drain but rain"?











Answer. It doesn't exist in either one. Both are myths. One put forth by people who don't know the Bible and another parroted by people who don't know the CWA.

That's the problem. This mentality is within our own ranks because people are too lazy to look it up and find the truth. The same goes for the local policy makers.

If you repeat a lie enough times people will believe it.

What an outstanding job the manufacturers have done to force their vacuum cleaners on us.

Been there, done that! We had some really tight reclaim survalence on us at a large fleet account. They were very rude, offensive, and threatening at first. The account is about 3 blocks away from the city bus wash and 5 blocks from the city vehicle maint/wash. I thought for sure the state agency would be interested in some major violations at the city facilities...
But, apparently not. We worked like a well oiled machine, with flawless reclaim! It took them about a month to warm up to us, but on the fourth week a guy was watching us (for 4 hours!) we had set up a folding camp chair, umbrella, and had an ice cold coke there for him!
He was a lot nicer to us after that! We kept that chair and umbrella in the truck for him for almost 2 years! I bet it was the most relaxing part of his day! We brought a radio for him, but it just happened to be the first time he didn't show up...
I wish he would show up now to see the competitor that came in and low balled us!
 
In reality we went into the tiger's cage made him look foolish while poking him with a stick, this knee jerk reaction was predictable. Moving forward the confrontation was inevitable, it was tragic that we had no representation, we did have the industry leader but an "Attorney" familiar with the CWA & environmental law would go much further to give us credibility that a body of contractors care enough to take money from their pockets to fund such a cause. These so called industry organizations havent stepped up to the plate and Ron can only go so far so why don't we as a group fund an Attorney with Ron controling the money to assist with the cause. I will kick in the first $100.00. Let me know if I am off base. Regards

Back in 10' at the Myrtle beach round table I bought up in open discussion if the uamcc or pwna would hire lawyers to help with issues like this. They said NO......They would asst. in finding experts in reclaim. I also asked about the orgs finding group health insurance too...........Same answer. Both the uamcc and pwna was represented there too.......
 
The city of Carrollton TX has the same BMP's pretty much. Even says fundraising car wash water can't go into a storm sewer. Also can't do carlot washing even with no soap. Can't use heated water. bla bla bla

Start reading on page 15. This is BS you can't even test a sprinkler system without recovering the water.
