All of the storm drains in CharlotteMecklenburg flow directly to our lakes and streams. Dirty, soapy water from washing your car can pollute our surface waters. • • • • One gallon of liquid soap will pollute 200,000 gallons of water. Consider washing your car on a grassy area. Or better yet, take your car to a professional car washing center. Don’t let soap suds go down the storm drain. Remember, only rain goes down the storm drain!
