Zirc Szennyviztisztito Telep - Wastewater Treatment Plant in Csesznek, Hungary

Zirc Szennyviztisztito Telep is a wastewater treatment plant located in the Csárda-völgy area of Csesznek, within the Zirci járás district of Veszprém vármegye, Hungary. The plant serves a population of approximately 11,450 people, classifying it as a medium-sized agglomeration under EU classification. As a Hungarian facility, the plant operates under the national transposition of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). For agglomerations of this size, the directive requires secondary treatment as a minimum standard. The plant's designed capacity is 1.00 (likely in thousand cubic meters per day or similar unit), indicating it is sized to handle the local wastewater load. The plant discharges treated effluent into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Danube River basin. The Danube is a major European waterway that flows into the Black Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the water quality of local streams and the broader Danube ecosystem, supporting aquatic life and downstream water uses.

The plant's treated effluent enters the local drainage network, which flows into the Danube River basin. The Danube is a vital ecological corridor supporting diverse aquatic species and providing water for millions of people. The plant helps reduce nutrient and pollutant loads that could otherwise contribute to eutrophication in the Black Sea, the final receiving water body.
