Redics Szennyviztisztito Telep - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Rédics, Hungary

Redics Szennyviztisztito Telep is an advanced wastewater treatment facility located in Rédics, a small town in the Nyugat-Dunántúl region of Hungary. The plant serves a population of 1,329, classifying it as a small agglomeration under EU regulations. Its designed capacity is 1,500 cubic meters per day, with a current discharge volume of 156.67 cubic meters per day. As an advanced treatment plant, it goes beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, which is typical for plants discharging into sensitive areas under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). The plant's advanced level ensures high-quality effluent that protects receiving water bodies. The treated wastewater is discharged into local waterways that eventually flow into the Mura River and then the Drava River, part of the Danube basin. This region supports diverse aquatic life and is important for maintaining water quality in the broader Danube catchment area.

The plant discharges into local streams that feed the Mura River, a tributary of the Drava, which ultimately joins the Danube River. The Danube basin is a major European watershed supporting diverse ecosystems and providing water for millions. The advanced treatment helps protect downstream water quality in this sensitive transboundary river system.
