After reviewing the submissions on the Issues Paper, it became apparent to the Regulator that the complexities of trade waste charging were greater than originally anticipated. On 11 July 2023, the Regulator therefore decided that further work will need to be done to fully understand the options available for trade waste charging and the impacts arising from any changes to trade waste charging.
For this reason, the Regulator also decided at this time that the review of trade waste charging should be dealt with separately from sewerage charging.
