Are mobile carwashes allowed to operate under Stage 3a water restrictions?
Yes, the water businesses (City West Water, South East Water, Western Water and Yarra Valley Water) have worked together on a process to review and approve the operation of mobile car washes if they meet the water use requirements that all water efficient car washes must operate within. Any car wash that has been approved by a local water business will have documentation to confirm this and should be able to produce upon request. If a mobile carwash meets these requirements, then they may operate in any of the water business’ service areas at suitable sites including car dealerships, businesses and residences.
