Local Limits

Municipalities develop and enforce local limits to:

  • Ensure their municipal wastewater treatment plants comply with environmental standards
  • Safeguard worker health and safety
  • Protect wastewater collection and treatment physical assests including collection pipes and pump stations

Local limits reflect site-specific conditions including the number and types of industry, businesses and other non-domestic sources in a municipality's service area.
