Controls adopted for point source discharges Measures taken to apply the principle of recovery of the costs of water use in accordance with Article 9. A water services authority will have to identify in the strategic plan where it intends to source water to meet projected demands across it’s functional area. Such controls may also apply to existing abstractions, which may have to be reduced or physically modified to meet RBMP objectives. Controls on point source discharges will impact on the siting of discharges from treatment plants and stormwater & emergency overflows. In addition, these controls may limit the quantity and quality of discharges, which may require water services authorities to provide additional treatment processes or storage capacity for both existing and planned facilities. The cumulative impact of existing and proposed discharges will also have to be considered, to ensure that the quality objectives for receiving waters set in the RBMP continue to be met. The recovery of the cost of water services in accordance with Government policy will form the cornerstone of the financial plan for their delivery.
