Summer calls for weekends on the water! 🚤 But before washing your boat in your driveway, ensure to follow the 3 C’s to prevent stormwater pollution and avoid a fine! 👇 ✔ Control: Reduce the amount of water used and allow water to be absorbed by your lawn by using a control nozzle or bucket and washing your boat (or other vehicles) on your lawn. ✔ Contain: Divert water to a landscaped area using rolled-up towels, berms or a broom so water can soak into the soil without creating runoff. ✔ Capture & Dispose: Capture excess wash water using a mop, wet/dry vacuum or absorbents. Drain wash water onto landscaped areas or dispose of it in a sink or toilet. . . . #ThinkBlueSanDiego #SanDiego #Summer2023 #SanDiegoSummer #StormwaterRegulations #Compliance #BoatWash
