Mezotur Szennyviztisztito Telep - Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant in Mezőtúr, Hungary

Mezotur Szennyviztisztito Telep is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Mezőtúr, a town in the Észak-Alföld region of Hungary. The plant serves a population of approximately 11,596, placing it in the medium agglomeration category under EU classification. As a Hungarian facility, the plant 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 stringent treatment if the receiving waters are designated as sensitive areas. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Tisza River basin, a major tributary of the Danube. The Tisza River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in Central Europe.

The plant discharges into the Tisza River basin, which flows into the Danube River and eventually reaches the Black Sea. The Tisza River is a vital freshwater ecosystem supporting diverse fish species and migratory birds. The surrounding Észak-Alföld region is characterized by flat plains and agricultural land, making proper wastewater treatment essential for protecting downstream water quality.
