The plant serves a population of approximately 3,432 and has a designed capacity of 4,800 cubic meters per day, with an average discharge volume of 862.45 cubic meters per day. As a secondary treatment facility, the plant provides biological treatment to remove organic matter and suspended solids. Under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), agglomerations with a population equivalent between 2,000 and 10,000 are required to have secondary treatment, which this plant meets. The plant is operated as part of the municipal wastewater infrastructure for the Stammheim area. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that ultimately drain into the Main River basin, a major tributary of the Rhine. The Rhine watershed is ecologically significant, supporting diverse aquatic life and serving as an important migratory corridor for fish species. The plant's operation helps protect the local streams and downstream ecosystems from nutrient pollution and organic loading.

The plant discharges into the local watershed, which is part of the Main River basin, a tributary of the Rhine. The Rhine is a major European river that flows into the North Sea, supporting diverse aquatic habitats and serving as a critical migratory route for fish such as salmon and eel. The region's agricultural and urban runoff can contribute to nutrient loads, making the plant's secondary treatment important for reducing organic pollution and protecting downstream water quality.
