Overview
Boldog Szennyviztisztito Telep is a secondary treatment plant in Jászfényszaru, Hungary, serving 2,033 people. It discharges 239.65 m³/day of treated wastewater into local waterways.
Boldog Szennyviztisztito Telep is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Jászfényszaru, within the Jászberényi district of Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok county in Hungary's Northern Great Plain region. The plant serves a population of approximately 2,033, classifying it as a small agglomeration under Hungarian and EU regulations. The facility provides secondary treatment, which is the minimum standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for freshwater discharges from agglomerations of this size. The plant has a designed capacity of 833 m³/day and currently treats an average daily flow of 239.65 m³/day, indicating substantial reserve capacity. The treated effluent is discharged to a local receiving water body, which ultimately drains into the Tisza River basin, a major tributary of the Danube. This discharge contributes to the water quality of the Tisza, which supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in the Carpathian Basin.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into a local watercourse that flows into the Tisza River, part of the Danube basin. The Tisza is a vital river for Hungary, supporting rich biodiversity including fish species and migratory birds. Downstream, the Danube carries the water to the Black Sea. The region's flat terrain and agricultural land use make nutrient removal important to prevent eutrophication in downstream waters.
