UWWTP Loznitsa is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in the town of Loznitsa, Razgrad Province, northeastern Bulgaria. The plant serves a population of approximately 3,500 residents, reflecting its role in managing domestic wastewater for a small agglomeration. The plant provides secondary biological treatment, which is the standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 4,300 m³/day and an average daily discharge of 983.90 m³/day, the facility operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth or seasonal variations. The treated effluent is discharged into a local watercourse that ultimately drains into the Danube River basin, contributing to the Black Sea watershed.
