Totkomlos Szennyviztisztito Telep - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Tótkomlós, Hungary

Totkomlos Szennyviztisztito Telep is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Tótkomlós, a town in the Dél-Alföld region of Hungary. The plant serves a population of approximately 1,074 people, making it a small-scale facility within the country's municipal wastewater infrastructure. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, ensuring a high level of effluent quality. With a designed capacity of 4,166 m³/day and a current discharge volume of 126.61 m³/day, the facility operates well below its capacity, indicating potential for future growth. As a Hungarian plant, it operates under the national implementation of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which mandates appropriate treatment for agglomerations of this size. The treated wastewater is discharged into local water bodies that ultimately drain into the Tisza River basin, a major tributary of the Danube. The plant plays a key role in protecting the region's water resources and supporting the ecological health of the downstream environment.

The plant's effluent enters local waterways that flow into the Tisza River, which is part of the larger Danube River basin. This region supports diverse aquatic life and is important for migratory fish species. The advanced treatment level helps minimize nutrient loading and protects water quality in the downstream catchment.
