Environmentally Safe
Car Wash Fundraisers
The worst pollution in Puget Sound comes from our storm water. Wastewater from inside our
homes, schools and businesses goes down the drain and into a treatment plant, but water from
outside goes into storm drains and directly into Puget Sound – untreated.
Your fundraising car wash is one of many that will take place in Oak Harbor this season. Car
washes can be a significant source of pollutants. To help minimize harmful impacts and ensure
your compliance with municipal regulations, we will loan your organization an environmentally
friendly car wash kit for your fundraising event. The kit includes a sink, pump, hose, extension
cord and traffic cones, with easy step-by-step instructions.
We also have a one minute video on our web site. Visit www.oakharbor.org, look under City
Links / Car Wash Kits Available / then click on “Car Washing Tips” and/or “Car Washing Clean
Up Kits” to view the videos. An informational brochure is also available on-line @ “Storm
Water Discharge and Car Wash Fundraisers”. Thanks for helping to keep our waters clean.

When your car wash is over, please make sure the kit is wiped down, dried, in good working
order and stowed in the yellow bag. Then return it to the Oak Harbor Municipal (Public Works)
Shop at 1400 NE 16th Avenue, Oak Harbor. If you have comments or questions, please
