Wastewater transmission standards
Standards for our wastewater transmission system, which covers the bulk conveyance of wastewater to the treatment plants.
About these standards
The wastewater transmission system covers the bulk conveyance of wastewater to the treatment plant. The peak dry weather flow is generally greater than 78 litres per second.
