Hajduhadhaz Szennyviztisztito Telep is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Téglás, within the Észak-Alföld region of Hungary. It serves a population of 13,200, classifying it as a medium-sized agglomeration under EU standards. The plant is situated in the Hajdú-Bihar county, part of the Great Plain region. As a Hungarian facility, the plant operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. Hungary has transposed this directive into national law, and the plant is expected to meet the corresponding effluent standards. The regulatory framework ensures compliance with EU norms. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Tisza River basin and then into the Danube River before reaching the Black Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the region's water resources and supporting the ecological health of the downstream environment.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Tisza River basin, a major tributary of the Danube, which flows into the Black Sea. The region is part of the Great Plain, an area with significant agricultural activity, making nutrient removal important to prevent eutrophication in downstream waters. The local watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is an important corridor for migratory fish species.
