Cece Agglomeracios Szennyviztisztito Telep - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Sáregres, Hungary

Cece Agglomeracios Szennyviztisztito Telep is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Sáregres, within the Közép-Dunántúl region of Hungary. It serves a population of approximately 1,700 people, classifying it as a small agglomeration under Hungarian and EU regulations. The plant operates with advanced treatment, which goes beyond the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive's minimum requirement of secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 2,644 m³/day and an actual discharge volume of 200.40 m³/day, the facility has significant spare capacity. Advanced treatment typically includes nutrient removal to protect sensitive water bodies. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Danube River basin, which flows into the Black Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the region's water quality, supporting aquatic ecosystems and downstream communities.

The plant discharges into the Danube River basin, which flows through Central and Eastern Europe before reaching the Black Sea. The Danube supports diverse aquatic life and is an important migratory corridor for fish species. Advanced treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient loading, protecting downstream ecosystems from eutrophication and maintaining water quality for human use.
