Apply for chemical toilet waste dump point discharge approval

Shoalhaven Water is responsible for assessing business activities and issuing approvals for discharging liquid trade waste into Council's sewerage system.

On review of an application, we will assess the proposed activity and if satisfied all pre-treatment requirements have been met, we will issue an approval. As a guide this application is for chemical toilet waste discharged into the sewerage system at a dump point on a property (e.g. caravan park, bus depot).

If you are leasing a property to conduct your business, you must obtain the land owner's consent prior to applying for approval to discharge liquid trade waste into our sewerage system.
