Overview
Flisa renseanlegg is a municipal wastewater treatment plant serving Flisa, Norway. It treats wastewater for approximately 5,696 people under Norway's regulatory framework.
Flisa renseanlegg is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Flisa, Innlandet county, Norway. The facility serves a population of approximately 5,696 residents, classifying it as a small to medium agglomeration under Norwegian and EU wastewater standards. As a Norwegian plant, Flisa renseanlegg operates under the national implementation of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. Norway, as an EEA member, adheres to these standards, ensuring that treated effluent meets quality requirements before discharge. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Glomma River, Norway's longest river. The Glomma flows southward into the Oslofjord, a critical marine ecosystem. The plant plays a key role in protecting downstream water quality and supporting the ecological health of the river and fjord.
