LA SUZE ROEZE is a wastewater treatment plant located in Chemiré-le-Gaudin, within the Sarthe department of Pays de la Loire, France. It serves a population of 5,216 and has a design capacity of 8,000 m³/day, with an average discharge volume of 930.52 m³/day. The plant provides advanced treatment, ensuring high-quality effluent before discharge. As a French facility, LA SUZE ROEZE operates under the national regulations transposing the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). For agglomerations between 2,000 and 10,000 population equivalent, the directive requires secondary treatment, but this plant goes beyond with advanced treatment, which includes nutrient removal or other tertiary processes. The plant's design capacity of 8,000 m³/day aligns with its population served, indicating adequate infrastructure. The treated effluent from LA SUZE ROEZE is discharged into a local watercourse that flows into the Sarthe River, a tributary of the Loire River. The Loire basin is ecologically significant, supporting diverse aquatic life and migratory fish species. The advanced treatment helps protect downstream water quality in this sensitive river system.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into a local stream that feeds the Sarthe River, which flows into the Loire River, one of France's longest rivers. The Loire basin supports a rich diversity of fish, including Atlantic salmon and European eel, and is an important ecological corridor. Advanced treatment at this plant reduces nutrient loads, helping to prevent eutrophication in downstream waters.
