Kiskunfelegyhaza Szennyviztisztito Telep - Kiskunfélegyháza Wastewater Treatment Plant

Kiskunfelegyhaza Szennyviztisztito Telep is the municipal wastewater treatment plant for Kiskunfélegyháza, a city in the Dél-Alföld region of Hungary. The plant serves a population of around 48,720, placing it in the medium agglomeration category under Hungarian and EU regulations. As a plant of this scale in Hungary, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The directive also mandates more advanced treatment if the receiving waters are in sensitive areas. Compliance with national and EU standards is expected. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that drain into the Tisza River basin, a major tributary of the Danube. The region's flat terrain and agricultural landscape mean the plant plays a key role in protecting surface water quality from nutrient pollution, supporting downstream ecosystems in the Danube Delta and Black Sea.

The plant discharges into the Tisza River basin, which flows into the Danube and ultimately the Black Sea. This inland location is part of the Great Hungarian Plain, where agricultural runoff and municipal discharges can contribute to nutrient loading. The plant's treatment helps protect downstream aquatic habitats and supports the ecological health of the Tisza and Danube river systems.
