Washing & Flushing: Private Communities

Unfortunately storm water runoff regulations have made flushing or rinsing private streets illegal.

Yes, after the debris is removed by a sweeper, following with a water truck to simulate Mother Nature is now illegal.

 Mother Nature can do it without sweeping, so all the silt and trash go into the storm drain.  Doesn't make a lot of sense, but the regulations don't have exceptions for regular maintenance flushing.

 Even the new catch basin filters are not an answer.  Only 100% capture of the wash water and hauling to a treatment facility is approved.
