StGeorgen ob Murau St Wastewater Treatment Plant - Sankt Georgen am Kreischberg, Austria

StGeorgen ob Murau St is a wastewater treatment plant located in Sankt Georgen am Kreischberg, in the district of Murau, Styria, Austria. The plant serves a population of approximately 1,947 and is classified as a small agglomeration under EU regulations. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond the secondary treatment standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 4,000 cubic meters per day and a current discharge volume of 349.07 cubic meters per day, the plant has ample capacity for future growth. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that ultimately drain into the Mur River, a major tributary of the Drava River, which flows into the Danube and eventually the Black Sea. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect the sensitive aquatic ecosystems of the Mur River basin, which supports diverse fish populations and is an important ecological corridor in the region.

The plant discharges into the Mur River basin, which flows into the Drava River, a major tributary of the Danube. The Danube ultimately reaches the Black Sea. The Mur River supports diverse aquatic life, including fish species such as grayling and brown trout, and its riparian zones provide important habitats for birds and mammals. Advanced treatment at this plant helps maintain water quality in this ecologically sensitive river system.
