A recent incident captured by a news portal (VE.lt) illustrated a potential violation of local environmental regulations. The photograph depicted a scene where liquid was running from a private yard onto a public street. Within the yard, a black BMW was visible, alongside a man operating high-pressure washing equipment, suggesting a vehicle cleaning operation was underway.
The activity prompted questions regarding the legality of such washing practices in public or semi-public spaces. The Department of Environmental Protection (AAD) issued a statement clarifying that such actions are prohibited under existing municipal rules. Furthermore, the department highlighted broader environmental concerns, referencing issues observed in the local Strėva river.
The AAD’s comment specifically addressed the enforcement aspect, noting that if a vehicle washing occurs within a municipality where washing is banned, the violation can be recorded even if the photographic evidence is taken at a location designated for recording infractions, rather than at the site of the washing itself. This applies even when the washing is conducted using only water. The report thus underscores the adherence to established environmental protocols when performing maintenance or cleaning activities involving runoff into public areas.
