Plozevet Kerfildro Wastewater Treatment Plant, Plozévet, Brittany

Plozevet Kerfildro is a wastewater treatment plant located in Kermao, Plozévet, in the Finistère department of Brittany, France. The plant serves a population of approximately 9,900 people and has a designed capacity of 1.00 (likely in thousands of cubic meters per day or population equivalent). It is situated within 50 km of the coast, reflecting the coastal character of the region. As a French plant serving a medium-sized agglomeration, it falls under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). This directive requires secondary treatment for discharges to freshwater and estuaries, and more advanced treatment for sensitive areas. The plant's treatment level is consistent with national implementation of these standards. The plant's treated effluent ultimately discharges into the local watershed, which drains into the Atlantic Ocean via the coastal waters of the Bay of Biscay. The surrounding area is ecologically sensitive, supporting diverse marine and coastal habitats. The plant plays a key role in protecting water quality in this region.
