TOURY Wastewater Treatment Plant, Toury, Centre-Val de Loire, France

The TOURY wastewater treatment plant is located in Toury, a commune in the Eure-et-Loir department of the Centre-Val de Loire region, France. The facility serves a population of approximately 2,008 residents and is part of the municipal wastewater infrastructure for the area. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. With a designed capacity of 4,167 m³/day and a current discharge volume of 358.22 m³/day, the plant operates well within its capacity. As a French facility, it operates under the national regulations transposing the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires appropriate treatment for agglomerations of this size. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Loire River basin. The Loire River is one of France's major rivers, flowing into the Atlantic Ocean. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect the receiving water bodies and supports the ecological health of the downstream environment.

The plant discharges into the local watercourse, part of the Loire River basin. The Loire River flows through central France before reaching the Atlantic Ocean. The watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor. Advanced treatment at the plant helps reduce nutrient loading and protect water quality in the downstream environment.
