Waste water discharge

Sewage companies discharge

If you want your business to discharge wastewater to the municipal sewer system, the municipality wants to know from you. You only have to report certain discharges. For other discharges, you need to apply for a permit from the municipality.

Domestic wastewater discharge

It is illegal to discharge (drain) domestic wastewater outside the sewer system, such as into a stream, river, lake or into the ground. If your home or other building is not (yet) connected to the sewer, you can apply for an exemption to the discharge prohibition. You do this with the water board or high water board in your area.
