SKA Bonndorf Wastewater Treatment Plant, Bonndorf im Schwarzwald, Baden-Württemberg

SKA Bonndorf is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Bonndorf im Schwarzwald, in the state of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The facility serves a population of approximately 10,950 people, classifying it as a small to medium agglomeration under EU regulations. As a German wastewater treatment plant, SKA Bonndorf operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The directive also mandates more advanced treatment if the receiving waters are designated as sensitive areas. It is expected to meet the national standards set by the German Water Resources Act (WHG). The treated effluent from SKA Bonndorf is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Rhine River basin. The Rhine is a major European waterway that flows through Germany and the Netherlands into the North Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the water quality of the local streams and the broader Rhine ecosystem, which supports diverse aquatic life and is an important migratory corridor for fish.
