If you want to discharge wastewater (sewage or stormwater) into a public sewage treatment plant or sewer system, you need a permit. Here you can find information about costs, duration, and required documents.

As a rule, you need a permit to discharge

• non-domestic wastewater,
• Excavation pit water, drilling mud water and wastewater from remediation
• Groundwater from structural drainage systems
• Rainwater in the case of a discharge limitation,
• adversely altered rainwater.

You must apply for a permit from the relevant authority. You must have the permit before you begin discharging wastewater.

The required documents depend on the nature of your request. Please see the "Links" section for details.

The wastewater is qualitatively and quantitatively suitable for discharge into a public wastewater treatment plant.

No. However, you must have approval before you begin the initiation process. You should therefore submit the application well in advance of the intended start of your project.

The discharge permit may be subject to conditions regarding wastewater pretreatment and self-monitoring, as well as reporting obligations that you must comply with. Your discharge permit may be time-limited.

For certain discharges, you do not need a permit (for example, domestic wastewater and unadversely altered rainwater without a discharge volume limit). However, certain discharges must be reported.
