💧 What Is the Clean Water Act and Why It Matters for Your Property

If you’ve ever booked a pressure washing service or thought about cleaning your driveway yourself, you may have heard of the Clean Water Act. It’s not just government red tape. It’s a critical law that protects our environment, drinking water, and public health.

And yes, it applies to pressure washing. Here’s what every Houston homeowner or business owner should know.

🌎 What is the Clean Water Act?

The Clean Water Act is a federal law passed in 1972 that regulates the release of pollutants into U.S. waters. This includes rivers, lakes, streams, and even storm drains. Under the law, it is illegal to discharge dirty or chemically contaminated water into public water systems without proper containment or treatment.

In simple terms, that means you can’t just rinse everything down the street.

🧼 How It Affects Pressure Washing

When you clean a driveway, patio, or exterior wall, the water runoff often contains dirt, algae, mold, and chemicals. In Houston, most storm drains connect directly to bayous and local waterways without any filtration system.

If that runoff isn’t managed properly, it can harm local ecosystems, pollute water supplies, and even result in fines for property owners or contractors who violate these regulations.
