Maintain equipment and remain compliant with our Trade Effluent Monitoring Service Date: 07/06/21 | In: Industrial Wastewater As the easing of lockdown restrictions continues across the UK, site inspections by water companies and regulatory bodies are now being routinely implemented in a bid to ‘catch up’ on a cancelled schedule last year. Explains Dave Walker, commercial director at Detectronic: “During the pandemic, trade effluent officers, for example, were unable to conduct site visits. However, now that we’re able to move more freely, site inspections are back on the agenda and officers will be checking on consent licences to see if any companies are in breach of their specific requirements.” Is your company still compliant? Monitoring equipment that hasn’t been inspected for over a year could well be faulty or broken and will therefore be providing incorrect readings. So, you may think your operation is compliant when really it isn’t. Breaching your consent licence is a criminal offence and could result in you being prosecuted. Correct maintenance of equipment is key to compliance which is why we’ve launched a new Trade Effluent Monitoring Service.
