Risk: Low Closed Secondary treatment

SKA Wissgoldingen Waldstetten Wastewater Treatment Plant, Wißgoldingen, Germany

Wißgoldingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany

Overview

SKA Wissgoldingen Waldstetten is a closed secondary treatment plant in Wißgoldingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It was designed for a capacity of 2,500 cubic meters per day.

SKA Wissgoldingen Waldstetten is a former wastewater treatment plant located in Wißgoldingen, a district of Waldstetten in the Ostalbkreis district of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The plant served the local community with secondary treatment before its closure. As a secondary treatment facility, the plant would have provided biological treatment to remove organic matter and suspended solids, meeting the standards required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of its scale. The designed capacity of 2,500 cubic meters per day indicates it served a relatively small population. The area drains into the Rems River, a tributary of the Neckar, which flows into the Rhine and ultimately the North Sea. The plant's closure suggests that wastewater is now treated at a larger regional facility, improving efficiency and environmental protection.

Environmental context

The plant is located in the Rems River basin, a tributary of the Neckar River, which flows into the Rhine and then the North Sea. The region is characterized by mixed agricultural and urban land use. The Rems supports diverse aquatic life and is an important corridor for migratory fish. The closure of this plant likely reduced local nutrient and pollutant loads, benefiting downstream water quality.
