Juvik Wastewater Treatment Plant, Kleppestø, Norway

Juvik wastewater treatment plant is located in Kleppestø, a locality on the island of Askøy in Vestland county, Norway. The plant serves a population of approximately 2,338 people and has a designed capacity of 1.00 (likely in thousands of cubic meters per day or similar unit). As a small agglomeration, the plant is subject to Norwegian water pollution control regulations, which implement the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for appropriate treatment levels based on receiving water sensitivity. Norwegian plants of this scale typically employ biological treatment with nutrient removal, especially in coastal areas where eutrophication is a concern. The facility is part of the municipal infrastructure managed by the local authority. The treated effluent from Juvik is discharged into the surrounding marine environment of the North Sea, specifically the coastal waters near Askøy. This area supports diverse marine life and is important for local fisheries and recreation. The plant plays a key role in protecting the coastal ecosystem from nutrient pollution and pathogens.

Juvik plant discharges into the coastal waters of the North Sea near Askøy, Vestland. The receiving environment is a marine ecosystem that supports fish, seabirds, and benthic communities. As a coastal discharge, the plant must meet stringent nutrient removal standards to prevent eutrophication in the sensitive fjord and coastal waters of western Norway.
