Tokorcs Szennyviztisztito Telep is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Tokorcs, a village in Vas County within the Nyugat-Dunántúl region of western Hungary. The plant serves a small population of 350 residents, reflecting the rural character of the area. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond the secondary treatment required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive for agglomerations under 2,000 population equivalent. With a designed capacity of 330 m³/day and a current discharge volume of 41.26 m³/day, the facility operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth or seasonal variations. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Danube River basin, contributing to the Black Sea watershed. The advanced treatment level helps protect downstream aquatic ecosystems, including the Rába River and its tributaries, which support diverse fish populations and are important for regional biodiversity.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into small streams that flow into the Rába River, a major tributary of the Danube. The Rába River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in western Hungary. The advanced treatment ensures minimal nutrient and pollutant loading, protecting downstream water quality in the Danube basin, which ultimately reaches the Black Sea.
