SKA BIL Allfeld Schefflenztal Wastewater Treatment Plant, Allfeld, Germany

SKA BIL Allfeld Schefflenztal is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Allfeld, a district of Billigheim in the Neckar-Odenwald district of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The plant serves a population equivalent of approximately 11,450, placing it in the medium agglomeration category under EU classification. As a German plant serving between 10,000 and 100,000 people, it is subject to the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment as a minimum. For sensitive areas, more stringent treatment may be mandated. The regulatory framework ensures compliance with national and EU standards. The treated effluent from the plant is discharged into the local water system, which ultimately drains into the Neckar River basin and then into the Rhine River. This region supports diverse aquatic life and is part of a larger river network that flows to the North Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting local water quality and downstream ecosystems.

The plant discharges into the Schefflenz River, a tributary of the Neckar River, which flows into the Rhine River and eventually reaches the North Sea. The Neckar basin supports diverse aquatic habitats and is an important corridor for migratory fish species. The plant's treatment helps maintain water quality in this ecologically sensitive river system.
