It serves a population of approximately 7,235, classifying it as a small agglomeration under EU regulations. As a Romanian facility, the plant is subject to the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires appropriate treatment for discharges into freshwater bodies. For agglomerations of this size, secondary treatment is typically mandated, with more stringent requirements if the receiving waters are designated as sensitive areas.
