The facility serves a population of 2,797 and is part of the region's municipal wastewater infrastructure, operating under German and EU regulations. The plant provides advanced treatment, which goes beyond the secondary treatment required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 5,500 cubic meters per day and an average discharge volume of 939.34 cubic meters per day, the plant has ample capacity to handle current loads. The treated effluent is discharged into the Danube River basin, which flows into the Black Sea. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect the local aquatic environment and downstream ecosystems, including the Danube Delta, a region of high ecological importance.

The plant discharges into the Danube River basin, which ultimately flows into the Black Sea. The Danube is a major European waterway supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for agriculture and industry. Advanced treatment at this plant reduces nutrient loads, helping to prevent eutrophication in downstream waters, including the ecologically sensitive Danube Delta.
