It serves a population of approximately 55,300, classifying it as a medium-sized municipal facility within the region's wastewater infrastructure. As a plant in China, it operates under national wastewater discharge standards, which mandate secondary treatment for urban wastewater. The facility's treatment process and capacity details are not publicly available, but it is expected to meet the requirements set by China's Ministry of Ecology and Environment for pollutant removal. The plant discharges treated effluent into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Yangtze River basin. This contributes to protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems and supporting water quality in the region's rivers and lakes.
Environmental context
