There are at least two ways to know. One would be to know the regulations of one's jurisdiction. It may very well be mandatory. Secondly, one could ask the proprietor.
Given enough time, all car washes, including wash bays, will be using a fair bit of recycled water. It will become mandatory in more and more jurisdictions. Further, in some locations, you're not even allowed to wash your own car on your own property.
