FLO28 GADDEVAGEN 29 30 31 Wastewater Treatment Plant, Florø, Norway

FLO28 GADDEVAGEN 29 30 31 is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Florø, a coastal town in Kinn municipality, Vestland county, Norway. The plant serves a population of approximately 440 residents, classifying it as a small agglomeration under Norwegian wastewater regulations. The facility provides secondary treatment, which is the standard requirement for smaller communities under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), transposed into Norwegian law. With a designed capacity of 680 m³/day and an average discharge volume of 190.82 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth or seasonal variations. The treated effluent is discharged into the coastal waters of the Norwegian Sea, a productive marine ecosystem. The plant's proximity to the coast (within 10 km) means its discharge directly influences local fjord and marine environments, which support diverse aquatic life and are important for fisheries and tourism in the region.

The plant discharges into the coastal waters of the Norwegian Sea near Florø, within the Vestland fjord system. This area is ecologically sensitive, supporting diverse marine life including fish stocks and seabird populations. The discharge contributes to the nutrient balance of the local fjord, which ultimately connects to the North Atlantic. Proper treatment is essential to protect water quality and the health of downstream ecosystems.
