What are the consequences/ Impacts?
If the flow meter is bypassed, the
amount of the effluent (Sewage) is not
measured. This may cause overloading
to the STP, which in turn may result in
the following:
• Inefficient treatment of sewage
• Treated sewage not according to the
required standards
• Treated sewage full of bacteria,
viruses, worm eggs, …etc.
• Health impact to workers, inhabitants,
and plants
• Contamination to the environment
(ground water, soil and air quality)
• Could impact the plant and grass
irrigated by this effluent
•PDO has maintained its reputation on
Environment. Failing to fix this item
may subject PDO to a legal fine and
loss of ISO14001 certification.
