VILLENEUVE LES SABLONS Wastewater Treatment Plant, Ivry-le-Temple, Hauts-de-France

The VILLENEUVE LES SABLONS wastewater treatment plant is located in Ivry-le-Temple, a commune in the Oise department of Hauts-de-France, northern France. The facility serves a population of approximately 8,676 people, placing it in the small-to-medium agglomeration category under EU classification. As a French wastewater treatment plant, VILLENEUVE LES SABLONS operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size discharging into freshwater. The plant is situated inland, more than 50 km from the coast, and its treated effluent likely discharges into a local river system within the Seine basin. The plant's receiving water body ultimately drains into the English Channel via the Seine River. The facility plays a key role in protecting local water quality in the Oise River watershed, which supports diverse aquatic life and is used for recreation and agriculture downstream.

The plant discharges into a tributary of the Oise River, which flows into the Seine River and eventually reaches the English Channel. The Oise watershed supports diverse freshwater ecosystems and is an important corridor for migratory fish species. The plant's treatment helps maintain water quality in this sensitive river network.
