Kolcse Szennyviztisztito Telep - Secondary Wastewater Treatment in Tiszakóród, Hungary

Kolcse Szennyviztisztito Telep is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Tiszakóród, within the Észak-Alföld region of Hungary. The plant serves a population of 1,075 and operates as part of the local wastewater infrastructure for the Fehérgyarmati járás area. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 700 m³/day and an actual discharge volume of 126.72 m³/day, the facility operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth or seasonal variability. The treated effluent is discharged into the Tisza-Túr-tározó reservoir, which is part of the Tisza River basin. The Tisza River flows into the Danube, ultimately reaching the Black Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting local water quality and the downstream aquatic ecosystem.

The plant discharges into the Tisza-Túr-tározó reservoir, a man-made water body connected to the Túr River, a tributary of the Tisza. The Tisza flows into the Danube, which empties into the Black Sea. The reservoir supports diverse aquatic life and serves as an important habitat for migratory birds. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient loads, protecting downstream water quality in the Tisza and Danube basins.
