Impossible to wash your car at home in the Côtes-d'Armor, since August 10, 2022 since you have to save water in the midst of drought.
Most car washes are also closed.

"All the water we use comes from recycling," says the boss.
This autonomy allows him to continue his activity.
According to the decree of the prefect, rainwater can be collected from impermeable surfaces.
They can then be stored in regular dedicated facilities.
It is precisely this rain that is recovered by the station.
It is added to the wash water, recycled before reuse.
It takes between 400 and 800 liters of water to wash a vehicle.
The precious liquid is stored in a 75 m3 reserve equipped with a double filtration system guaranteeing clean water at the outlet.
When the owner bought the station in 2020, 80% of the water used came from recycling, compared to 100% today.
