Mohacs Szennyviztisztito Telep is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Mohács, Hungary, within the Dél-Dunántúl region. The plant serves a population of around 13,000 people, providing essential sanitation services for the community. As a facility in Hungary, the plant operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size.
