LA VILLE DIEU is a wastewater treatment plant located in La Ville-Dieu-du-Temple, a commune in the Tarn-et-Garonne department of Occitanie, southern France. The plant serves a population of approximately 2,410 residents and is part of the municipal infrastructure managed under French water regulations. The facility provides advanced treatment, which goes beyond the secondary treatment standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 2,650 m³/day and a current discharge volume of 429.94 m³/day, the plant operates well within its capacity. Advanced treatment typically includes nutrient removal to protect sensitive water bodies. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Garonne River via the Tarn River system. The Garonne flows into the Gironde estuary and then the Atlantic Ocean. The plant plays a key role in protecting the water quality of the Tarn and Garonne rivers, which support diverse aquatic life and are used for agriculture and recreation.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Tarn River basin, a tributary of the Garonne River. The Garonne flows through southwestern France into the Gironde estuary, a major ecological zone supporting migratory fish species such as salmon and eels. The advanced treatment helps reduce nutrient loading, protecting downstream water quality in the Garonne and the Atlantic coastal environment.
