The facility serves a population of approximately 1,309 people and has a designed capacity of 4,000 cubic meters per day, with a current discharge volume of 708.6 m³/day. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard level required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations with a population equivalent between 2,000 and 10,000.
