The board, at a meeting last evening, adopted its trade wastes by-law No. 2, framed after consultations with the Canterbury Manufacturers’ Association and individual industries. The by-law makes it an offence to discharge trade wastes without a permit obtained within 28 days of the operation of the by-law. The discharge of wastes which could interfere with the board’s sewers or pumping or treatment plant is prohibited, as are specified chemical wastes. The discharge of cooling or storm-water into sewers is also prohibited. The by-law gives the board power to fix times and quantities of discharge, to require preliminary treatment of waste and to make charges based on the nature and volume of the waste. Penalties of up to £5O and £5 a day for a continuing offence are provided.
