The Zhejiang wastewater treatment plant is located in Wuxing District, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, China. It serves a population of 150,000, classifying it as a large agglomeration under Chinese wastewater regulations. The plant's designed capacity is 1.00, indicating its scale in managing municipal wastewater. As a large-scale facility, the plant is expected to meet national discharge standards under China's Environmental Protection Law and the Water Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan. These regulations mandate advanced treatment for plants serving over 100,000 people, especially in sensitive areas near the coast. The plant's treatment processes are designed to reduce pollutants before discharge. The plant is situated within 50 km of the coast, meaning its treated effluent likely flows into rivers or lakes that eventually reach the East China Sea. This proximity to marine waters requires stringent treatment to protect coastal ecosystems. The plant plays a key role in safeguarding water quality in the region, supporting both human use and aquatic life.
Environmental context
The plant's discharge ultimately reaches the East China Sea via local waterways such as the Tiaoxi River system.
