LADOIX SERRIGNY Wastewater Treatment Plant, Ladoix-Serrigny, France

The LADOIX SERRIGNY wastewater treatment plant is located in Ladoix-Serrigny, a commune in the Côte-d'Or department of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, France. Serving a population of approximately 7,175, this facility is part of the region's municipal wastewater infrastructure, handling domestic sewage from the local community. As a French wastewater treatment plant, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The directive also mandates more advanced treatment if the receiving waters are sensitive areas. The plant's specific treatment processes and capacity details are not publicly available, but the regulatory framework ensures compliance with European standards for effluent quality. The treated effluent from the plant is discharged into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Saône River, a major tributary of the Rhône. The Rhône flows into the Mediterranean Sea, making the plant's operations important for protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems and the marine environment.

The plant discharges into local streams that feed the Saône River, which flows into the Rhône and ultimately the Mediterranean Sea. The watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is used for agriculture and recreation. Proper treatment helps prevent nutrient pollution and protects downstream water quality in this ecologically sensitive region.
