Water Science and Technology Vol 39 No 10-11 pp 39–45 © IWA Publishing 1999 Transforming local government wastewater departments - from adversary to industrial partnerA. R. Pitman* and L. A. Boyd***Wastewater, Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Council, P.O. Box 32243 Braamfontein, 2017 South Africa ABSTRACT The need to remove nutrients from wastewater by biological means and dispose of sludge by-products in an efficient manner has prompted the Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Council to adopt a new approach to the management of industrial discharges. Giving a rebate on the normal discharge tariff will encourage the discharge of industrial effluents having a high readily biodegradable concentration (which would assist the BNR process). Those effluents having high concentrations of heavy metals (which would degrade the reuse value of sludge by-products) would be discouraged by means of an additional penalty above the normal discharge tariff. eProduct: Buy this article for £24.00 (IWA MEMBER PRICE: £18.00) All prices include VAT.
