The expensive mistake building a wash station then ripping it out

Let me give you the version of this conversation that happens after the wrong decision is made. Operator builds a wash station. First season, tenants use it constantly. Dry aisles are muddy from the runoff. The soap dispenser runs out during peak move-out weekend in May. Tenant's boat cover gets snagged on a scrub brush mount. The operator spends 4 hours on a Saturday cleaning up the area around the station. By the end of the first season, the operator wants to remove the wash station. But has already poured the slab, run the drainage, and installed the equipment. The retrofit to rinse only is straightforward— remove the soap and scrub infrastructure, post new signage— but the capital was already spent on a setup that creates more problems than it solves.
