WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEMS DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
INTRODUCTION
The main purpose of wastewater treatment is protection of public health and the environment
and the long-term sustainable and efficient use of our resources in accordance with the Water
Pollution Rules 2001 (amended 2006) of the Environmental Management Authority (EMA).
The aim of this document is to provide guidance for the Developers and Licensed Sanitary
Constructors (LSC’s) on the Authority requirements for Wastewater Treatment systems. This
guidance has become necessary since the persons submitting the plans are not fully aware
of these requirements.
