Precise location detail requested for trade effluent discharge points.
Dear Welsh Water,
Further to an earlier request made (Ref. EIR/662/2021) for information, which was supplied, I have a further query.
For each consented discharge point supplied in the latest version (or previously supplied, if no updates) of the database, can you also please supply a grid reference or lat,long for each point of discharge into the waterbodies in question? A post code is simply too imprecise a locator.
THis is so the information can be more easily mapped on GIS etc.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
Yours faithfully,
Tom Tibbits

Dear Mr Tibbits
Request for information
We write further to your request for information dated 22nd June 2022,
which we have been considering under the Environmental Information

Please find attached an update to the Regional Trade Effluent Database.
In reference to your request for a grid reference or lat,long for each
point of discharge into the waterbodies in question, we are unable to
provide the Lat/Long as this information is not readily available. We have
however, included NGR of the Discharge Point from our database. This NGR
is our release to the environment or the receiving watercourse, this can
be found in Column R and the receiving Wastewater Treatment works in
column Q.
We hope that this response is clear. Should you have any questions, you
can contact us by email at [1][email address]

right to ask for an internal review. Internal review requests should be

decision.
