NEUILLY SAINT FRONT Wastewater Treatment Plant, Neuilly-Saint-Front, Hauts-de-France

The NEUILLY SAINT FRONT wastewater treatment plant is located in Neuilly-Saint-Front, a commune in the Aisne department of Hauts-de-France, France. The facility serves a population of approximately 4,022 and is designed to handle a capacity of 2,250 cubic meters per day, with an average discharge volume of 717.52 cubic meters per day. As an advanced treatment plant, it goes beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants, meeting stringent French and EU standards. Under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), plants serving agglomerations between 2,000 and 10,000 population equivalent are required to provide appropriate treatment, and advanced treatment is often mandated in sensitive areas to protect water quality. The plant discharges treated effluent into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Seine River basin and then into the English Channel. Its advanced treatment helps protect downstream aquatic ecosystems and supports the ecological health of the region's water bodies.

The plant discharges into the local water system within the Seine River basin, which flows through northern France before reaching the English Channel. This region supports diverse aquatic life and is important for migratory fish species. The advanced treatment helps reduce nutrient loading, protecting downstream water quality in the Seine estuary and coastal marine environment.
