I use client's electricity, since I don't have a generator. I usually don't use their water, since I primarily do ONR washes nowadays. I've never had a client complain or even look at me funny when I inform them that electricity is a requirement for many of my services. I do fill my 2 5 gallon buckets with hot water and bring them with me. Gives me plenty of water to do an ONR wash and run my extractor.
I would however advise this: You never know where the client's hookups will be. Always bring more extension cord and hose than you think you will need. I learned this on one of my early details: The client told me over the phone I would have access to power. Little did I know the nearest power outlet was on the opposite side of the house from the driveway... Had to run to Walmart and buy 2 extra extension cords. Talk about embarrassing!
