Waste water
Waste water is the liquid that ends up in the sewerage system. It’s also known as sewage. Whatever you call it, Business Stream can help you deal with it in a way that protects the environment – and benefits your business.
What is waste water?
Waste water is the water that exits your drains and ends up in the sewerage system. This includes normal kitchen sink refuse, toilet waste and sewage and clean rainwater drainage.
Waste water does not include liquid waste that is discharged from industrial production – this is trade effluent and requires trade effluent consent.
You do not require special consents for the removal and treatment of waste water. Waste water services are provided as standard by Business Stream and the service is included in your water charges.
