Overview
ROWP CL IACOBENI is a secondary treatment plant serving Iacobeni, Suceava, Romania. It treats wastewater for approximately 589 people with a designed capacity of 1,068 m³/day.
ROWP CL IACOBENI is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Iacobeni, Suceava County, Romania. The facility serves a small population of around 589 residents, reflecting its role in a rural or small-town setting within the Carpathian region. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment stage required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations with a population equivalent between 2,000 and 10,000. Although the plant's population served is below this threshold, Romanian regulations align with EU standards, ensuring adequate treatment for smaller communities to protect local water quality. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Bistrița River, a tributary of the Siret River, and then into the Danube River before reaching the Black Sea. The plant plays a key role in safeguarding the ecological health of these water bodies by reducing organic pollutants and nutrients from domestic wastewater.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Bistrița River basin, which flows into the Siret River, a major tributary of the Danube. The Danube then empties into the Black Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional biodiversity. The secondary treatment process helps control nutrient loading, reducing the risk of eutrophication in downstream lakes and coastal areas.
