Sheryl,
Yes the connection through the neighbouring church site to another section of wastewater network is the best option.
Alternatively why not upgrade a section of the existing council drain so that it would meet the demand. The cost could be negotiated with the developer.
We will not be taking any responsibility of any retention storage tank arrangement and discharge to the Public Drainage. This will up to Public drainage to resolve and approve. The Building Code does not cover this.
I have discussed this with Jon Moser Team Leader of the Inspections team and we both do not believe the retention tank is a good option and we also consider this a health risk under various situations.

Hi Richard
I understand that previously it was advised to pursue obtaining connect for a connection through the neighbouring church site to another section of wastewater network.
High level modelling had indicated that storage was unlikely to be required of the wastewater was discharged to this part of the network.
Do you know if any work was done at looking at this option?
Cheers
Sheryl

Subject: 79 Taranaki St - Wastewater storage tanks
Hi Ricard
We have spoken with our Chief Wastewater Advisor regarding the proposed wastewater storage tanks for 79 Taranaki Street.
The advice given is :
· that the tanks should be underground – and preferably constructed from fibre glass
· discharge should be controlled by an actuated valve for holding – normally open, close based on level in public main
· the valve will be controlled by an ultrasonic and back up level switch – located within a public wastewater manhole
· Proposed to use existing WW MH – WW35568 – highlighted below. This has a calculated invert level of 5.62m MSL – and has an approximate depth of 1.5m. The level and ability to connect by gravity will need to be confirmed.
· An overflow alarm will be required connected to the WWL system and a red flashing light on the side of the building
· All maintenance, repairs and renewal will be the responsibility of the building owners. Manuals, maintenance schedules etc. will need to be produced and made available for the building owners.
· The tanks will need to be located so that access by a sump truck is achievable
· Can it be confirmed that the flow/discharge rates used have come from the Regional Standard for Water Services
Cheers
