LABASTIDE ST PIERRE Wastewater Treatment Plant, Labastide-Saint-Pierre, Occitanie

The LABASTIDE ST PIERRE wastewater treatment plant is located in Labastide-Saint-Pierre, a commune in the Tarn-et-Garonne department of the Occitanie region in southern France. The plant serves a population of 2,570 and operates with advanced treatment processes, ensuring high-quality effluent before discharge. As a facility in France, the plant operates under the European Union's Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires appropriate treatment for agglomerations of this size. With advanced treatment, the plant goes beyond the secondary treatment standard, likely to protect sensitive receiving waters. The designed capacity of 2,200 m³/day indicates the plant is operating below its maximum capacity, with a current discharge volume of 458.48 m³/day. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Garonne River via the Tarn River. The Garonne River flows into the Gironde estuary and then the Atlantic Ocean. This region supports diverse aquatic life and is important for migratory fish species such as salmon and eels.

The plant discharges into the Tarn River basin, a tributary of the Garonne River, which flows into the Gironde estuary and the Atlantic Ocean. The watershed supports diverse aquatic ecosystems, including migratory fish species. Advanced treatment helps protect water quality in this ecologically sensitive area.
