SAINT GEORGES SUR EURE LA TAYE Wastewater Treatment Plant, Saint-Georges-sur-Eure, France

SAINT GEORGES SUR EURE LA TAYE is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Saint-Georges-sur-Eure, a commune in the Eure-et-Loir department of the Centre-Val de Loire region, France. The plant serves a population of 1,709, classifying it as a small agglomeration under French and EU regulations. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond the secondary treatment standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 4,500 cubic meters per day and a current discharge volume of 304.88 cubic meters per day, the facility has ample capacity to handle current loads. Advanced treatment ensures high-quality effluent, reducing nutrients and pollutants before discharge. The treated wastewater is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Eure River, a tributary of the Seine. The Seine River flows through Paris and into the English Channel, making the plant's operations important for downstream water quality in both the Eure and Seine basins. The advanced treatment helps protect aquatic ecosystems and supports the ecological health of the region's waterways.

The plant discharges into the Eure River watershed, which flows into the Seine River and eventually the English Channel. The Seine basin supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in northern France. Advanced treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient loading and protects downstream water quality, particularly in sensitive areas of the Seine estuary.
