Most commercial laundromats do. Many water authorities, including Sydney Water, require pre-treatment such as a lint trap or screen before laundry wastewater is discharged to sewer.
Commercial laundromats are high risk for lint-related sewer blockages and ‘lintbergs’. A lint trap helps you meet consent conditions, avoid infringement notices and protect the wider network.
Requirements vary between authorities and change over time, so always obtain prior trade waste approval from your local water authority before installation. Viking supplies full technical drawings to assist with authority submissions.
