Pressure increase on water authorities?
The WA Cooke Group - Watermark Projects
Providing effective wastewater treatment systems to the end user. All of our systems are designed and built in-house.
“Our waters are filled with sewage”
“Those who made the mess should do their bit to clean it up”
“That’s why we’re strengthening the powers of the water regulator and backing tough fines on water companies that have let sewage flood our rivers, lakes, and seas.”
Strong words from the Prime Minister on Tuesday. It indicates further pressure will be applied on local water authorities to improve their treatment facilities & processes in a bid to significantly reduce environmental breaches. In the past, this has resulted in an increased burden on companies within their areas who discharge their wastewater to sewer. The result of this could involve tighter trade effluent consent limits & increased discharge costs. The prime minister's speech can be used as a forewarning for companies to get ahead of their wastewater issues and to avoid potential fines by exploring more robust wastewater treatment processes.

2 个月I'm not sure this will happen quickly or at all (I might be wrong though). Water companies have to be able to justify new consent limits and if they can't they leave themselves open to challenges by people like us. Costs might increase but new limits that are perceived as punitive or excessive can be rebuffed. Unless a TE discharge is a high proportion of the volume or load entering a works it's arguable whether tighter limits are effective or necessary.
