BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
N/A
REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND
For years the public works facility has been washing equipment with a simple garden hose.
switching from a garden hose to a pressure washer can dramatically improve cleaning results,
especially for equipment that collects road salt, grease, mud, or other heavy debris. A garden hose
produces 30–60 psi (pounds per square inch) of pressure. By comparison, even a light-duty
pressure washer starts around 1,300 psi, giving 20–40 times more cleaning power. Public works
has been setting aside money for the last couple years but we are a little short and recommend
using money from the building fund to make up the difference.
