How Does a Car Wash Reservoir Affect Water Pollution

A car wash reservoir is a large tank of water that is used to wash cars. The water in the reservoir is recirculated and reused. This means that the water is not discharged into the environment.

The main environmental concern with using a car wash reservoir is the potential for water pollution. If the water in the reservoir becomes contaminated, it can pollute the surrounding environment when it is discharged.

There are several ways that a car wash reservoir can become polluted:

• run-off from parking lots and driveways can carry pollutants into the reservoir;

• dirty vehicles can introduce pollutants into the reservoir;

• cleaning agents and other chemicals can pollute the reservoir;

• improperly maintained filters can allow pollutants to enter the reservoir.
