Laundries discharging trade effluent to the public sewer need PUB Written Approval and must meet its conditions. Changes to the process, layout, discharge quantity or chemicals may require a new application. Discharge to an open drain or other watercourse is subject to separate NEA requirements. Check the route, approval and proposed discharge with the relevant authority before changing the system.
