A. The Wastewater Discharge Permit (PDF) is part of the system designed to protect the sanitary sewer system (including both collection and treatment facilities) and to protect the waters receiving the treated wastewater. The Engineering and Regulation Division of the Bureau of Utilities issues these permits. They also monitor and determine compliance with the permit conditions.
