Climate, soiling and season in Provo
Provo sits between a hot-summer Mediterranean and a cool semi-arid climate, with about 17 inches of rain and 57.2 inches of snow in an average year.
Provo averages its last freeze in late April and its first morning below freezing in mid-October, so the practical water based washing window runs between those averages.
Provo's average first freeze is mid-October, and the average last freeze is late April. These are averages; the survey confirms the window for your building.
Water-based washing pauses in freezing weather; the freeze dates shown are averages and the survey confirms the window for your building. Recurring clients are booked at the start of the window.
Flying and washing in Provo
These are the rules that shape a job here; we plan around them at the survey, not on site.
Controlled airspace here needs FAA authorization before launch; LAANC grants it in advance and it is filed as part of scheduling.
The control tower at Provo Municipal Airport established Class D airspace over a radius of four nautical miles around the field and up to 7,000 feet above sea level.
Utah drone guidance states that Provo Municipal Airport anchors Class D airspace, so LAANC governs authorization in the controlled rings around the Utah County metro.
Utah preempts local drone regulation, so Provo has no city ordinance of its own governing private drone use.
Provo City Ordinance 18.02 prohibits any illicit discharge into the city's storm drain system, and the city asks sites to protect every inlet within 50 feet as well as the closest downstream inlet.
Provo City's Engineering Division receives, processes and issues the permit for any excavation, trenching or utility installation, and the work must follow Provo City standards and specifications.
Flights stage from the client's own property with the owner's written consent; public parks and rights of way are not used as launch sites without a permit.
Rinse water is contained and recovered wherever the local storm-drain rule requires it, and the containment method is written into the proposal.
Any sidewalk or lane closure is permitted with the city before the job and its lead time is part of the schedule.
State-level drone law, licensing and the statewide season are on the Utah page. See also where drones need permits.
