Overview
Mysen avlopsanlegg is a wastewater treatment plant serving approximately 8,500 people in Mysen, Norway. It operates under Norway's implementation of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive.
Mysen avlopsanlegg is a wastewater treatment facility located in Mysen, Indre Østfold, Østfold county, Norway. The plant serves a population of around 8,500, classifying it as a medium-sized agglomeration under Norwegian and EU regulatory frameworks. As a Norwegian plant, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The designed capacity is 1.00 (likely in thousand cubic meters per day or similar units), indicating the plant's scale. The plant discharges treated wastewater into the local watershed, which drains into the Glomma River, Norway's longest river, and eventually into the Oslofjord. This downstream environment supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional ecology.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent enters the local watercourse, which flows into the Glomma River basin. The Glomma River discharges into the Oslofjord, a fjord that supports diverse marine life and is an important ecological and recreational area. The watershed is sensitive to nutrient loading, and the plant's treatment level helps protect downstream water quality.
