Part Eleven: Trade Waste is proposed to replace Part Nine: Trade Waste of the Wairarapa Consolidated Bylaw 2019 which will expire next year. Consultation on the remaining parts of the Consolidated Bylaw will open on 25 June 2025.
Trade waste is liquid waste (excluding domestic wastewater), with or without solids in suspension, that is or may be discharged from a trade premise. Trade waste includes wastewater that contains contaminants, including solids, fat, oil, grease, solvents, emulsions and chemicals resulting from industrial or trade processes.
The wastewater drainage network can be adversely impacted by customer activity, causing potential damage to infrastructure or creating health and safety and/or environmental concerns.
If adopted, the Bylaw will come into force on 1 October 2025.
Proposed changes
The proposed changes aim to better protect the Council’s water supply and wastewater networks.
We propose that applications from trade premises to discharge prohibited trade waste to the network are not accepted due to the harm it can cause.
