Do you realize that it is legal to:
1) top off your pool that's been winterized
2) Fill up a pool once if you get permission from the local municipality
3) Fill your hot tub, spa, jacuzzi, kiddie pool
4) Water garden (with hose which shuts off when let go)
5) Watering of lawns (region dependent) every other day, according to house number and only for 45 minutes..
YET, it's illegal to wash your car, unless at a commercial place which probably recycles their water (uck!)
So I parked on the grass and watered my little MR2 this weekend and polished and waxed it. It's new and hasn't been waxed so I had to. I just did.
But, I can't believe they allow one to fill up a pool or water the garden yet they don't allow one to wash a car??? My parents would use way more water to water the garden then it would for me to wash my car. 2 gals for the bucket with soap, a quick rinse in the beginning and a rinse at the end. We don't water our lawn, drought or no drought but the gardens we have are usually watered although we haven't been this year. So I look at it this way, if I park my car on the lawn, I'm simply watering the lawn, it just happens that my car is on said lawn. Doesn't make any sense to me, maybe the people who did our EZ Pass came up with these restrictions...
