Overview
Jaszfenyszaru Szennyviztisztito Telep is an advanced wastewater treatment plant in Jászfényszaru, Hungary, serving about 4,490 people. It discharges treated effluent into local waterways, supporting the Tisza River basin.
Jaszfenyszaru Szennyviztisztito Telep is an advanced wastewater treatment facility located in Jászfényszaru, a town in the Jász-Nagykun-Solnok county of Hungary's Northern Great Plain region. The plant serves a population of approximately 4,490, classifying it as a small agglomeration under Hungarian and EU regulations. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond the secondary treatment standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 4,000 cubic meters per day and an actual discharge volume of 529.29 cubic meters per day, the facility operates well within its capacity, ensuring effective treatment of municipal wastewater. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Tisza River, a major tributary of the Danube. This contributes to the protection of the Tisza basin's aquatic ecosystems and supports water quality downstream. The plant's advanced treatment level helps reduce nutrient loads and other pollutants, benefiting both local streams and the broader Danube catchment.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local waterways that flow into the Tisza River, which is part of the Danube basin.
