CONSENT TO DISCHARGE

Understanding Discharge Consents

With over 25 years of experience, Dynamic Tank Solutions (DTS) specialises in consent to discharge applications and comprehensive drainage surveys for new dwellings, and both pre- and post-house sales. We conduct on-site assessments of existing septic tanks and wastewater treatment plants, offering a full-service package from survey to installation, often covered by insurance. Unlike dealing directly with insurers for a settlement, DTS ensures that adequate funds are secured for project completion.

Discharge consents regulate the quality and quantity of wastewater discharges, ensuring they meet environmental standards to protect aquatic ecosystems.

These consents cover various discharge types:

  • Domestic Discharges: Waste from single dwellings.
  • Private Sewage Infrastructure: Discharges from multiple dwellings or commercial activities.
  • Wastewater Utility Discharges: Managed by public water utility companies.
  • Trade/Process Wastewater Discharge
  • Site Drainage Discharges

Domestic Discharge Consents

Granted by the department with input from local council Environmental Health Officers, these consents do not confer legal rights over property access or control. Applicants must provide detailed maps/plans of proposed treatment systems and discharge points, ensuring all necessary easements and access arrangements are in place.

TESTIMONIALS

OUR CLIENTS REVIEWS

“John came out within 24hrs of our call. He inspected the system and knew straight away how to deal with it. Within a couple of hours he was back with a plan to sort out our emergency. Great service and all done with a smile. Can’t thank him enough.” Jill Moore – Facebook Review
“Just had a tank installed by DTS. I wouldn’t normally post on pages but will make an exception in this case. From the initial conversation with John through the on site meeting to final installation, I have been thoroughly impressed by the professionalism of DTS. Added to that they are all great people and so courteous when carrying out their work. Whether it’s cost, professionalism or any other aspect their work, I doubt you would find a better company to do business with.” Colin Lyle – Facebook Review
