All commercial car wash wastewater must be collected, treated, and then discharged to the sanitary sewer. Diamond Environmental Services provides car wash clarifier pumping services in a manner that will not disrupt service or inconvenience customers.

Diamond Car Wash Clarifier Services:

• Pump out all sludge and debris from carwash trench and clarifier pits
• Visually inspect clarifiers for needed repairs
• Discharge waste at certified disposal site

Environmental Compliance requires a minimum 1500-gallon clarifier to treat car wash wastewater. However, a larger size may be required depending on the number of cars being washed. Clarifiers must be completely pumped out at least once a year, sometimes more frequently if there is evidence of excessive oil and solids.

It is recommended that a company installing a new car wash facility consider purchasing an automated unit that recycles rinse water.
