Mobile Pressure Washing

People DO get fined, albeit occasionally. My neighbour when we lived above the practice range at Marquesa golf was about to be fined 600 euros by the Policia Local for washing down his patio, balustrades etc until i managed to negotiate the fine down to 200 for him, explaining that he was a holiday home owner & unaware of the law here.
Also, our community pool was shut down by the Police when we had a leak that was letting water run into the street, we too were informed of heavy penalties if we didn't fix it pronto!!!
With that in mind, you all can make your own minds up as to if it really is worth doing or indeed if the law actually exists, i for one aren't taking the chance.

That’s a good reply elchedave, it’s a weird, weird world we live in.

You have obviously never been caught & fined then have you!!!!!!
You have made a huge assumption that the water would run down the street.
I could pressure wash my drive and pool area without any of it going into the street.

I haven't made any assumption at all, i am just trying to advise people of the law & possible consequences if caught. The OP asked if anyone did power washing of patios etc as a profession, i merely tried to help. If you want to go into greater detail, any excessive use of fresh water ie;hosepipes, washing cars, powerwashing etc etc has had the possibility of incurring fines for many years now, admittedly this may not be enforced regularly BUT may well be, probably dependant on several things, mood of officers, amount of water being used etc.
As i said earlier, if anyone yourself included, wishes to take that risk it is up to them but personally, on experience, i won't.
