The SAINT PIERRE DU BOSGUERARD wastewater treatment plant is located in Saint-Pierre-du-Bosguérard, a commune in the Eure department of Normandie, France. The plant serves a population of approximately 3,185 people, classifying it as a small agglomeration under French and EU regulations. Its full address is Chemin de la Mésangère, Le Perrois, Saint-Pierre-du-Bosguérard, Bernay, Eure, Normandie. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond the secondary treatment required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 5,040 m³/day and an actual discharge volume of 568.20 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth. The advanced treatment likely includes nutrient removal to protect sensitive receiving waters. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Seine River basin and the English Channel. The plant plays a key role in protecting the region's water quality, supporting aquatic ecosystems, and maintaining the ecological health of downstream environments, including the Seine estuary and coastal waters.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local streams that flow into the Seine River, which ultimately reaches the English Channel. The Seine basin supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor for migratory fish. Advanced treatment helps minimize nutrient loading, protecting downstream waters from eutrophication and preserving the ecological balance of the estuary and coastal zone.
