A little soapy water isn't going to cause a problem is it?
But it is the law nonetheless, I don't think it is really meant to apply to someone pouring a bucket of water in the gutter.
But there are regs out there that detail exactly how we are supposed to dispose of our bucket of dirty water.
I think it's utterly pathetic, have always totally ignored the daft rule and I'll slop out my bucket wherever and whenever I feel like it
I'm not sure that Mr plod can do you for it though
Hard to gather the evidence.....it soon disappears down the drain
And what about all the shopkeepers that take a bucket of Flash and wash down the floors by the entrance to their shops?
All that water ends out down the drains too.
The washing up liquid and so on is-as far as I am aware-biodegradable, I've often emptied my bucket at the end of a summers day on my garden to save watering.
And then of course there are the many thousands of people washing theirs cars on the weekend.
It's the same type of water as us window cleaners use, it all goes down the storm drains doesn't it?
But of course even though we might only use a a couple of gallons of water a day, we are adjudged to be commercial users, and the rules that apply to major companies that have to dispose of contanimated water applies to us too.
If cops can actually 'do' us for pouring a bucket of dirty water down the gutter, the cop that is moronic enough to decide its worth prosecuting one of us is a right sad *******
