Lokoshaza Szennyviztisztito Telep - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Kevermes, Hungary

Lokoshaza Szennyviztisztito Telep is a wastewater treatment facility located in Kevermes, a town in the Dél-Alföld region of Hungary. The plant serves a small population of 685 people, reflecting its role in a rural community. As an advanced treatment facility, it provides a high level of purification for the local wastewater. The plant has a designed capacity of 2,352 cubic meters per day, though current discharge volume is 80.75 cubic meters per day, indicating low utilization relative to capacity. As a Hungarian facility, it operates under the national implementation of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires appropriate treatment for small agglomerations. The advanced treatment level suggests the plant may be in a sensitive area requiring nutrient removal. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Tisza River basin, part of the larger Danube River system. This discharge supports the ecological health of the region's waterways, contributing to the protection of downstream aquatic habitats and the Black Sea ecosystem.

The plant's discharge enters local streams that flow into the Tisza River, a major tributary of the Danube. The Tisza basin supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in Central Europe. The advanced treatment helps protect water quality in this sensitive watershed, reducing nutrient loads that could otherwise contribute to eutrophication in downstream lakes and the Black Sea.
