Weichs Wastewater Treatment Plant, Ebersbach, Bavaria, Germany

The Weichs wastewater treatment plant is located in Ebersbach, a district of Weichs in the Landkreis Dachau, Bavaria, Germany. It serves a population of approximately 1,765 people and has a designed capacity of 3,000 m³/day. The plant is currently closed and no longer operational. The plant provided 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. Advanced treatment typically includes nutrient removal to protect sensitive water bodies. The plant's discharge volume was recorded at 446.68 m³/day, indicating a utilization rate well below capacity. The treated effluent from the plant would have discharged into the local Glonn River, a tributary of the Amper River, which flows into the Isar River and eventually the Danube River. The Danube drains into the Black Sea. The plant's advanced treatment helped protect the local aquatic ecosystem and downstream water quality.

The plant's treated effluent would have entered the Glonn River, a small stream in the Danube basin. The Glonn flows into the Amper, then the Isar, and finally the Danube, which empties into the Black Sea. The region is characterized by agricultural land and small settlements, making nutrient removal important to prevent eutrophication in downstream rivers and the Black Sea.
