Abuja warns car wash businesses to stop using piped water

I think I have found the article you're referring to!

According to a report by The Punch, the Abuja Environmental Protection Board (AEPB) has warned car wash businesses in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to stop using piped water for their operations.

The warning was issued due to the increasing demand for water in the city, which has led to a shortage of water supply in many areas. The AEPB is concerned that the excessive use of piped water by car wash businesses is exacerbating the situation.

In a statement, the AEPB said: "The Abuja Environmental Protection Board wishes to inform all car wash operators in the FCT that the use of piped water for their operations is no longer allowed. This is due to the increasing demand for water in the city, which has led to a shortage of water supply in many areas."

The board also warned that any car wash business found to be using piped water will be shut down and the operators will be prosecuted.

The AEPB is urging car wash businesses to explore alternative sources of water, such as boreholes or rainwater harvesting, to reduce their reliance on piped water.

This move is part of the board's efforts to conserve water and reduce the pressure on the city's water supply infrastructure.
