Background information

The outflow from the wastewater facility must meet the conditions set in the Wastewater Discharge Resource Consent for discharge into the sea environment.

Trade Waste discharges into the Hastings District Council wastewater network are controlled by the Hastings District Council Consolidated Bylaws (chapter 7 - water services) available from the 'related documents' section at the bottom of this page. The bylaw contains a schedule (Chapter 7; schedule B) that sets limits on volume, flow rate and characteristics that a business may discharge into the wastewater network. 

This enables Council to control what is discharged into the wastewater network to protect those working in or around the wastewater network, to meet limits set in the Resource Consent, and to protect the wastewater network from potential damage and blockages.

Council has a duty to protect the community-owned wastewater network and to protect people and the environment.
