2. No CBJ Stormwater Discharge Permit for Pressure Washing

   The City and Borough of Juneau has no stormwater discharge permit or registration for pressure washing — neither Community Development's permitting guidance nor Engineering & Public Works publishes such a program. Wash water carrying detergents, oils, or sediment must not be discharged to storm drains; capture it and dispose of it to the sanitary sewer or another approved point, and contact CBJ Utilities (907-586-0393) before discharging to the sewer system. Statewide, Alaska DEC administers APDES stormwater general permits, which apply to construction and industrial sites rather than to routine pressure washing.
