Vehicle Washing

carwash

Car washing is limited to once per week.

Personal vehicles may be washed at home using a hose with positive shut-off nozzle. However, the Water District recommends use of a commercial or self-serve car wash where water is captured to the sanitary sewer, which allows for recycling. Or, use a high-pressure, low-volume sprayer to maximize water savings.

Personal Vehicles

Car washing is limited to once a week per vehicle using a hose with positive shut-off nozzle.

Commercial Vehicles

Wash commercial vehicles only at a facility where water is discharged to the sanitary sewer through approved methods. Or, wash with a high-pressure, low-volume sprayer using less than 10 gallons per vehicle. There is no limitation on frequency.

Mobile Car Washing

Mobile car washes are allowed as long as the company uses high-pressure, low-volume equipment and uses less than 10 gallons of water per vehicle.

Car Wash Coupons

The Southern Nevada Water Authority offers car wash coupons online. A water smart car wash recycles the water on site or drains it to the sanitary sewer, helping protect our water supply.
