Trade Effluent Discharge
Trade effluent is any wastewater that is discharged as a result of business processes, like the manufacturing of food or drinks, into a public sewer. It’s a legal and environmental requirement that manufacturers know where their waste water discharges to and that their drainage system is in good working order.
Failing to maintain your drainage system can result in blockages and burst pipes causing a spill or flood and increasing the risk of cross-contamination. To ensure this does not arise, a pre-planned maintenance contract is an ideal solution to make sure your business complies with current laws and reduces the risk and minimises costly repairs in the future.
