What are the risks if my facility fails the performance guarantee test?
If your facility fails the performance guarantee test, several risks can arise: Financial penalties: Fines or penalties imposed by regulatory authorities, particularly for failing to meet discharge standards or technical requirements. Environmental impact: Excessive pollutant discharge (e.g., TSS, BOD, COD) that can harm rivers, groundwater, or aquatic environments. Technical malfunctions: Facility operating issues, leading to additional costs for rehabilitation or compliance work. Loss of trust: Non-compliance can affect your reputation with residents, municipalities, or institutional partners. To avoid these risks, it's essential to conduct regular testing with an accredited expert like WaterGuard.
