Bardu renseanlegg is a wastewater treatment plant located in Setermoen, a town in Bardu municipality, Troms county, Norway. The plant serves a population of approximately 2,488 people, reflecting its role in a small Arctic community. Its designed capacity is 1.00, indicating a facility scaled to local needs. As a Norwegian plant, Bardu renseanlegg operates under national regulations that implement the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) through the EEA Agreement. For agglomerations of this size (under 10,000 population equivalent), the directive requires appropriate treatment, typically secondary treatment, to protect the receiving environment. It is expected to meet these regulatory standards. The plant discharges into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Målselva river system and then into the Malangen fjord, part of the Norwegian Sea. This Arctic coastal environment is ecologically sensitive, supporting diverse marine life and migratory fish species. The plant's operation is crucial for maintaining water quality in this pristine region.
