Lengyel szennyviztisztito telep - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Csikóstőttős, Hungary

Lengyel szennyviztisztito telep is a wastewater treatment facility located in Csikóstőttős, within the Dél-Dunántúl region of Hungary. It serves a small population of 520 people, reflecting its role in a rural community. The plant is situated in the Tolna vármegye area, part of the Dombóvári járás. The plant operates with advanced treatment technology, which goes beyond the secondary treatment standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive for smaller agglomerations. With a designed capacity of 833 m³/day and a current discharge volume of 61.30 m³/day, the facility has ample capacity to handle its service area. The advanced treatment level ensures high-quality effluent, reducing nutrient loads and protecting receiving waters. The treated wastewater is discharged into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Danube River basin, a major European waterway. The Dél-Dunántúl region is characterized by agricultural landscapes and small settlements, making proper wastewater treatment essential for maintaining local water quality and supporting downstream ecosystems in the Danube and the Black Sea.

The plant discharges into local streams that are part of the Danube River basin, ultimately flowing into the Black Sea. The region's water bodies support diverse aquatic life and are important for agriculture and local biodiversity. Advanced treatment helps minimize nutrient pollution, which is critical for preventing eutrophication in downstream lakes and coastal areas.
