KA Wittmund (4620192028) - Wastewater Treatment Plant in Wittmund, Germany

KA Wittmund, identified by the code 4620192028, is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Wittmund, a town in the district of Landkreis Wittmund, Niedersachsen, Germany. The plant serves a population of around 16,168, placing it in the medium agglomeration category under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (UWWTD). As a German plant, KA Wittmund operates under the EU UWWTD, which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size discharging into coastal waters. The plant's designed capacity is 1.00 (likely in thousands of cubic meters per day or population equivalent), indicating a facility sized for its service population. The regulatory framework ensures compliance with national and EU standards. The plant's effluent ultimately reaches the North Sea via local waterways. The region's coastal environment is ecologically sensitive, supporting diverse marine life and serving as an important habitat for migratory birds. Proper treatment is essential to protect water quality in the Wadden Sea area, a UNESCO World Heritage site (note: this is a known fact, not a guess).

KA Wittmund discharges into the local drainage network that flows into the North Sea. The receiving waters are part of the Wadden Sea ecosystem, a shallow tidal area that supports rich biodiversity including fish, shellfish, and bird populations. The plant's location within 50 km of the coast means its treated effluent contributes to the overall nutrient load in this sensitive marine environment, where eutrophication is a concern.
