Just wondering what are the restrictions in the UK for your carpet cleaning waste water in The US. legally there are special sewers that they can be dumped at, if you dont and get caught its a $10,000 fine

waste water must be be directed to the sewer system, which in turn is pumped to a treatment works, if it directed to a storm drain it will eventually make its way to a stream or river and you will be fined depending on the severity of the contamination.
