Water Restrictions

Ian from Richmond

Went for a lovely drive this evening. Quite happy until I drove past the Self Service Auto Wash in Nelson. People washing their cars with copious amounts of water and suds...... With a sprinkler and hose ban in effect, I am completely dismayed? As a window cleaner who has invested thousands of dollars to use a Pure Water System to make my job easier, I have ceased doing this, and got back on a ladder to conserve water. I'm now in two minds as to whether these restrictions apply to me? I would love to know what justification these guys have unless they are getting water tankers in from outside of Nelson. Please tell me this is the case? I understand Health & Safety, but this is not to clean some windows, it's the whole car.
