Hilgertshausen Tandern OT Hilgertshausen is a wastewater treatment plant located in Gumpmühle, a locality within the municipality of Hilgertshausen-Tandern in the district of Dachau, Bayern, Germany. The plant serves a population of approximately 1,322 and has a designed capacity of 3,000 m³/day, with a discharge volume of 334.57 m³/day. The facility is currently closed. The plant provides 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. For populations under 2,000, the directive mandates appropriate treatment, and secondary treatment meets this requirement. The plant's capacity utilization appears low, but no specific regulatory issues are noted. The treated effluent from the plant is discharged into local water bodies within the Danube River basin. The region is characterized by its proximity to the Amper River, a tributary of the Isar, which flows into the Danube. The plant's operations contribute to protecting the local aquatic environment and downstream ecosystems, including the Danube Delta, a significant ecological area.
