Szentkirály Szennyvíztisztító Telep - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Szentkirály, Hungary

Szentkirály Szennyvíztisztító Telep is a wastewater treatment facility located in Szentkirály, a village in Bács-Kiskun county, Hungary. The plant serves a population of 1,043 and operates with advanced treatment technology, ensuring high-quality effluent. As a small agglomeration, it plays a key role in protecting local water resources. The plant has a designed capacity of 1,984 m³/day and currently discharges 122.95 m³/day of treated wastewater. Under Hungarian regulations, which align with the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), small agglomerations like this require appropriate treatment to prevent environmental harm. The advanced treatment level indicates compliance with stringent standards for nutrient removal. The treated effluent is discharged into the local drainage network, which ultimately flows into the Tisza River basin. The Tisza is a major tributary of the Danube, supporting diverse aquatic ecosystems. The plant's operation helps maintain water quality in this ecologically sensitive region, contributing to the health of downstream environments.

The plant's discharge enters local streams that drain into the Tisza River, a key watercourse in the Danube basin. The Tisza supports a variety of fish species and migratory birds, making it an important ecological corridor. Advanced treatment reduces nutrient loads, helping to prevent eutrophication in downstream lakes and the Danube Delta.
