Our trade waste and wastewater bylaw helps us to regulate discharge of industrial/commercial waste, and the drainage of wastewater (sewage) from households. It contains rules around:
- Storage and transport of hazardous substances
- Consents for discharging trade waste and how they will be given
- Disposal of trade waste from tankers (e.g. septic tank contents or industrial waste)
- Accidental discharge or spillage of trade waste
- System of charging fees and invoicing
- Connecting to our domestic wastewater (sewerage) system
- Disconnection from our wastewater (sewerage) system
- Building or excavating over buried services or near public sewers
- Technical details and requirements for wastewater
