Property owners must fulfil their responsibilities.

Leak detection work must have been carried out by the end of 2015.

REMONDIS Aqua provides professional help when it comes to detecting leaks.

Many private and commercial property owners haven't realized it yet but the legislator has given them a difficult task to do: they must have all the wastewater and sewage pipes on their property checked for leaks by 31.12.2015. All underground pipes, which transport wastewater, must be systematically checked. If the inspection work is not carried out in time, then they may find themselves having to pay a fine.

 

 

 

Time is running out

The deadline is still a long way off. But this is not really the case because the inspection work is not a task that can be carried out so to speak "en passant". Across the country, over a million kilometres of drainage pipes need to be checked and assessed. The results, which are currently available, show that more than 50% of these private wastewater pipes need to have work done on them. If the leak detection work shows that the pipes are damaged, then this damage must be repaired. The local wastewater regulations have set obligatory deadlines for such work. The matter becomes even more urgent if the damage is causing environmental pollution. The Penal Code applies in such cases and the repair work must be carried out immediately.
