A number of changes will come into force in the Federal Law "On Water Supply and Wastewater Disposal" in 2019

25 December 2018, Tuesday

On January 1, 2019, a number of amendments to the Federal Law “On Water Supply and Wastewater Disposal” will come into force. If now in order to prevent a negative environmental impact, the Rosprirodnadzor Department for RT sets out standards for permissible discharges of pollutants, other substances and microorganisms for large subscribers of centralized sewage disposal systems, then this requirement is no longer valid from the new year. From the beginning of 2019, all subscribers of centralized sewage networks will have to comply with the standards for wastewater composition, which, in turn, are established by local authorities in order to protect water bodies from pollution.
