IVRY LA BATAILLE Wastewater Treatment Plant, Ivry-la-Bataille, Normandie

The IVRY LA BATAILLE wastewater treatment plant is located in Ivry-la-Bataille, a commune in the Eure department of Normandie, France. It serves a population of approximately 2,210 residents and operates with a designed capacity of 2,500 cubic meters per day. The plant provides advanced treatment, ensuring high-quality effluent before discharge. As a French wastewater facility, it operates under the European Union's Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires appropriate treatment for agglomerations of this size. For small communities like Ivry-la-Bataille, advanced treatment goes beyond the secondary standard, often incorporating nutrient removal to protect sensitive receiving waters. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Seine River basin and then into the English Channel. The plant's advanced treatment helps safeguard the ecological health of downstream water bodies, supporting aquatic life and water quality in the region.

The plant discharges into the Eure River, a tributary of the Seine, which flows through Normandie before reaching the English Channel. The Seine estuary is an ecologically sensitive area supporting diverse aquatic life, including migratory fish species. Advanced treatment at this plant reduces nutrient loads, helping to prevent eutrophication in downstream waters.
