Last call for Trade Waste Bylaw submissions

MEDIA RELEASE

4 December 2009

Businesses across Taupo District that discharge waste water into the Council sewers are reminded that they have until 5pm on Friday 11th December to make submissions on Council's draft Trade Waste Bylaw. 

The purpose of the Trade Waste Bylaw is to control and monitor trade waste discharges into Council’s wastewater system. It also provides a basis for charging persons who use the wastewater system to cover the cost of conveying, treating and disposing of, or reusing their wastes while ensuring that the costs of treatment and disposal are shared fairly between trade waste and domestic dischargers.

Copies of the draft Trade Waste Bylaw can be obtained from Council offices and libraries, or from Taupo District Council’s website here.

Submissions can be made for the proposed new bylaw in writing or online here, submissions close at 5pm on Friday 11th December 2009.
