MAGNY SUR TILLE Wastewater Treatment Plant, Magny-sur-Tille, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté

MAGNY SUR TILLE is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Magny-sur-Tille, a commune in the Côte-d'Or department of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, France. The plant serves a population of approximately 1,978 residents and is situated near the A39 autoroute, east of Dijon. As a secondary treatment facility, it provides biological treatment to reduce organic pollutants and suspended solids before discharge. The plant operates under the European Union's Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations with a population equivalent (PE) between 2,000 and 10,000. With a designed capacity of 2,000 m³/day, the facility is sized to handle the wastewater from this small community. The current discharge volume of 352.87 m³/day indicates a capacity utilization of about 17.6%, suggesting ample reserve capacity. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Tille River, a tributary of the Saône. The Saône flows south to join the Rhône, which empties into the Mediterranean Sea. This inland location, far from the coast, reduces direct marine impact. The plant's secondary treatment helps protect the Tille River and downstream aquatic ecosystems from nutrient pollution and organic loading.

The plant discharges into the Tille River basin, part of the larger Saône-Rhône watershed that drains to the Mediterranean Sea. The Tille River supports diverse aquatic life and is a tributary of the Saône, which flows through the Burgundy region. Secondary treatment reduces biochemical oxygen demand and suspended solids, helping to maintain water quality in this ecologically sensitive area. The plant's inland location and moderate scale minimize direct pressure on coastal or marine environments.
