Szekkutas Szennyviztisztito Telep is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Székkutas, a village in the Dél-Alföld region of Hungary. The plant serves a population of 821 and operates with a designed capacity of 1200 m³/day, currently discharging 96.78 m³/day of treated effluent. As a secondary treatment facility, the plant provides biological treatment to remove organic matter and suspended solids. Under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), agglomerations with a population equivalent (PE) between 2,000 and 10,000 are required to have secondary treatment. While Székkutas falls below this threshold, the plant's secondary treatment level aligns with national standards for small communities. The treated effluent is discharged into local surface waters that drain into the Tisza River basin, eventually reaching the Danube River and the Black Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the region's water quality and supporting the ecological health of the downstream aquatic environment.
