SECOND SCHEDULE
(Regulation 11)
CHARGE FOR THE DISPOSAL OF TRADE EFFLUENTS
The formula for working out the charges shall be as follows:
X+Y+Z Q
C=V ( W 20 7 ) B+
( R ) S
Where,
C = the charge, in fee units per 1,000 litres for the disposal of trade effluent;
V = the volume charge in fee units per 1,000 litres for conveyance, reception and preliminary treatment of average sewage received at the
works;
X = the COD in milligram per litre of the trade effluent;
Y = the concentration in milligram per litre of total toxic metals in the trade effluent;
Z = the concentration in milligram per litre of cyanogen compounds (as CN-), which on acidification liberate HCN, in the trade effluent;
W = the COD in milligram per litre of settled sewage;
B = the cost in fee units per 1,000 litres of biological purification of settled average sewage;
Q = the suspended solids in milligram per litre of the trade effluent;
R = the suspended solids in milligram per litre of average sewage treated at the works;
S = the cost of sludge disposal expressed in ngwee per 1,000 litres of average sewage received at the works.
Explanatory Notes on Formula

(i) The cost in fee units per 1,000 litres for V, B and S are to be determined by the Council at the commencement of each financial
year and are to be based on the annual costs ascertained for the purpose of the rate levy for sewers and sewage disposal for that year.
(ii) The values of X, Y, Z and Q are the means of the results from the analysis of samples taken during the preceding financial
year.
(iii) The values for W and R are the means from the analysis of hourly samples taken over a series of 24-hour periods during the
previous financial year.
(iv) The factors of 20 and 7 in relation to Y and Z arise from the limits of toxic materials which may be discharged under the
conditions of the consent.
(v) COD means the chemical oxygen demand of a sample of trade effluent measured in accordance with the methods used at the
Water Pollution Research Laboratory, Stevenage (WPL Procedure No. 17, February, 1969).
(vi) Suspended solids means those solids retained on a Whatman GF/C glass fibre filter paper when a shaken sample is filtered.
(vii) The determination of chromium compounds is done by using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer.
(viii) Cyanogen compound is determined by distillation and titrimetric method using Rhodamine as indicator as described in
"American Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Waste Water 14th edition".
(ix) The toxic metals, copper, cadmium, nickel, zinc and tin are determined by using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer.
(x) The volume of effluent discharged shall be based on figures obtained during the year from meters or flow recording apparatus
as assessed and certified by a Council officer authorised by the Council for the purpose or as otherwise agreed, assessed and certified by
the said Council officer. In assessing the volume of trade effluent discharged, records of the water consumed at the premises shall be
taken into account and due allowance made for use for domestic and other purposes not related to trade effluent.
The minimum quarterly charge for the disposal of any trade effluent shall be fifty fee units.
