Your responsibilities after you install a wastewater system
Compliance with the resource consent conditions
Read the transcript.
You will need to comply with conditions stated in your consent. Our officers monitor these conditions typically every five years.
We will charge you for the monitoring of your wastewater discharge consent. This charge can vary depending on the complexity and compliance history of the site.
What you need to provide
To confirm the system meets the conditions of the resource consent, you will need to provide documents, such as:
- an as-built plan
- a management plan
- maintenance contracts
- system certifications.
Your installer should be able to provide this information.
Maintain your wastewater system
A wastewater system that is not working, poses a threat to occupants of the property, neighbours and environment. In case your system is not working, a professional, like a drainlayer, should assess the system and advise you on how to fix it.
Even if you do not need a resource consent, you will have to ensure the system is maintained. The TP58 document below, as well as the Auckland Unitary Plan E5.6 provide more information.
