URGENT
Denver Water Board & Other Front Range Water Agencies Threatens To Close Carwashes
If you were a carwash operator during the drought of 2002-2003, you read this headline and were concerned about the very survival of your business not to mention your livelihood. Since then you have read numerous articles about the very same issue impacting other regions.
When our industry was threatened by legislators and government agencies, The Rocky Mountain Carwash Association banded together to create a concerted effort that not only prevented car wash facilities from being shut down, but created water usage standards and certification programs that have been adopted by major water utilities up and down the Front Range. As a result, professional car wash facilities now have a higher priority than golf courses and city parks during severe droughts.
The Rocky Mountain Carwash Association is designed to serve the professional carwash facilities in Colorado by fulfilling the following responsibilities:
-
Serve as a resource for local and state agencies to better understand how professional car washing is the best steward when it comes to protecting our water resources.
-
Develop a social network of carwash operators to serve as a platform for the exchange of best practices in all segments of the industry.
-
Educate the public and local utility providers (water and sewer) on the benefits associated with professional car washing as it relates to preserving the environment and our limited natural resources.
To succeed and remain vital we need you as a member. Membership is only $100 for the year and includes;
-
Ongoing advocacy with local and state government groups
-
Immediate attention to potential threats and opportunities in their incubation stages so as to ensure we are not caught off guard and can take an early proactive position with officials and affected parties
-
Quarterly membership communications (newsletters and email alerts)
-
Quarterly meetings with informative and relevant speakers
-
Preferred discounts to members by local professionals, carwash equipment vendors and chemical suppliers A 2010 RMCA membership badge of recognition to display at your carwash facility(s)
Our goal is to deliver a positive R.O.I. to each and every member during both good times and bad so we can become a strong and vital organization when (not if) the next drought comes. Please join today by completing and mailing the enclosed membership card.
Best Regards,
Dave Begin
President, RMCWA
