Does Your Site Need a Trade Effluent Licence For Construction Site Activities?

Under Section 118 of the Water Industry Act 1991, to discharge water through the sewers, you are required to have a Trade Effluent Licence.

All construction projects handle water, using it as a resource and handling it as a waste. Planning and managing this accordingly to regulations and ethical responsibilities is increasingly more important to prevent unexpected costs and delays occurring during the course of construction works. Many sites will need to discharge water into foul drainage to remove it from site. Doing so will require a specific trade effluent license, and this whitepaper sets out the key areas and responsibilities contractors should be aware of.
