From 1 July 2023, we introduced a tiered pricing structure for all Category 1 Trade Waste Permits.

The new pricing structure assigns customers into a Treatment Tier based on their type of business, the liquid waste they generate and the impact on the wastewater network. The higher the trade waste impact, the more it costs to treat and therefore the higher the Treatment Tier.

Fees will increase under the new pricing structure and we’re doing all that we can to ease the transition. The change will be phased in over two years and there is a discount in year one.
