SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 26 (UPI) -- Students
in San Jose, Calif., can no longer hold car washes to raise for money
for school events because city officials say they endanger the
environment.
Cheerleaders at Lincoln High School had to cancel a
scheduled Oct. 20 car wash after a visit from the city's Environmental
Services Department, the San Jose Mercury News reported Friday.
"Anything
that is not storm water or rain water is considered a pollutant," said
Jennie Loft, the department's acting communications manager. "If it goes
into a storm drain, that pollutant will harm wildlife and habitats in
the creeks."
