If a drop of water hits the pavement that was not put there by mother nature a reclamation device must be used. As far as I know this applies only to the city of Alpharetta (not all of Fulton county) and only on commercial (i.e. office complexes) property.
Full-time guys should look at this as a blessing as it will weed out the bizillion bottom feeder businesses that show up every season and undercut us. I hardly see those folks springing for the cost of a reclamation system just to service one city. |
Thanks for this information - Mike
This does explain the upswing in calls I have had this spring and as you say it will weed out the bottom feeders. Does the Alpharetta code say that the reclamation device must be certified – just wondering?
Ground water run off will continue to be pressed by the county and local governments which I believe is a very good thing.
As a fixed location I exceed the EPA requirements which are costly and after discussing with them [EPA] is the only reason I do not clean under the hood - ever.
