Abstract

These Regulations implement the Water Industry Act 1994 by providing further for procedures and standards to be complied with in relation to the carrying out of work; trade waste agreements and consents; the rights given to a licensee on the creation of an easement or a reserve; and the requirements for lodging notices in relation to a disposition of any land. The Regulations are divided into the following parts: Preliminary; Works of water supply and sewerage; Trade waste; Subdivisional easements and reserves; Notice of disposition of land and Proceedings. The Regulation provides a definition of “trade waste” which includes any matter discharged from premises as a result of trade, industrial, commercial, medical, dental, veterinary, agricultural, horticultural or scientific research or experimental activities; any waste matter consisting solely or partly of food, which results from any process connected with the preparation, on premises other than private residences, of food for consumption; any matter discharged from any ship's ballast and polluted storm-water run-off.
