2. Managing Trade wastewater
Trade wastewater from retail food businesses can contain
organic material that can cause odours and corrosion in your
sewers. Solid materials, oil and grease can cause blockages in
your system and damage your pumps.
Waste water from motor industry contains petroleum
hydrocarbons, metals and chlorinated solvents and they are
difficult to manage. These materials bring a negative effect to
our health and safety as well as damage the wastewater
system and stop us from producing good quality recycled
water.
Commercial Managing Trade wastewater
You must have written approval to discharge trade wastewater
since managing trade wastewater is an operational,
environmental and safety risk in the whole plumbing process.
Managing Trade wastewater includes:
● Industrial or commercial premises
● Vehicle, including septic effluent
● Wastewater from ships and boats
● Contaminated surface water and groundwater
If you are discharging trade waste water without approval, you
risk prosecution and penalties. You can also be disconnected
from the water service or your water service can be restricted.
Requirements and conditions can help to:
● Protect people working in and around the wastewater
system
● Protect receiving environments (rivers and oceans)
● Protect the wastewater system and treatment plants
from damage
● Process wastewater and produce recycled water and
good quality biosolids
● Encourage waste minimisation, cleaner production and
water efficient practices
