HAVE A SAFE & ENJOYABLE 4TH OF JULY!


PRESSURE WASH WATER RECOVERY SYSTEM SURVEY IN YOUR EMAIL BOX

MMTA has distributed a Pressure Wash Water Recovery Survey to all marina/boatyard asking some basic questions about your experiences, what equipment you selected and whether or not you would be willing to be a reference to your fellow members as they shop for their own solutions. 

None of this information will be shared with any regulatory body: the purpose of the survey is to gather information about who has what system, what they like and don't like about it and to find out if they
would be willing to share their experience with fellow members. 

When you receive the survey, please take just a few moments to complete the form and return it to MMTA.  Your assistance in creating a central warehouse of experience will be an invaluable resource for all.
