The NEUFGRANGE wastewater treatment plant is located in Neufgrange, a commune in the Moselle department of Grand Est, France. It serves a population of 1,450 and is part of the region's municipal wastewater infrastructure. The plant provides advanced treatment, which goes beyond the secondary treatment required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. It has a designed capacity of 2,200 m³/day and currently discharges 258.68 m³/day of treated effluent. The treated water is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Sarre River and then the Moselle River, a tributary of the Rhine. This contributes to the protection of the Rhine basin's water quality and supports downstream aquatic ecosystems.
Environmental context
The plant's discharge enters the local watercourse, which flows into the Sarre River and then the Moselle River, part of the Rhine basin. The Rhine is a major European river supporting diverse aquatic life and providing drinking water for millions. Advanced treatment helps reduce nutrient loads and protect downstream habitats from eutrophication.
