Geroda Wastewater Treatment Plant, Platz, Bayern, Germany

Geroda wastewater treatment plant is located in Platz, a district of Geroda in the Bad Brückenau administrative community, within the Landkreis Bad Kissingen district of Bayern, Germany. The plant served a population of 837 people and is now closed. The plant provided secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. The designed capacity was 1,200 m³/day, with an average discharge volume of 211.82 m³/day. The treated effluent was discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Franconian Saale river, a tributary of the Main, and then into the Rhine River system. The Rhine basin supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in central Europe.

The plant's discharge enters the local water system that flows into the Franconian Saale, a tributary of the Main River, which joins the Rhine. The Rhine basin is a major European watershed supporting diverse aquatic ecosystems and providing drinking water for millions. The plant's secondary treatment helped protect downstream water quality in this ecologically sensitive region.
