ROWP Comuna Bagaciu Wastewater Treatment Plant - Băgaciu, Mureș, Romania

ROWP Comuna Bagaciu is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Băgaciu, a town in Mureș County, Romania. The plant serves a population of approximately 700 residents and is designed to handle a capacity of 1,500 cubic meters per day. 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 of this size. Secondary treatment typically involves biological processes to reduce organic matter and suspended solids before discharge. The treated effluent is discharged into a local watercourse within the Târnava Mică River basin, which flows into the Târnava Mare River, eventually reaching the Mureș River and the Tisza River system. This drainage network ultimately feeds into the Danube River and the Black Sea, making the plant's performance important for downstream water quality.

The plant discharges into a tributary of the Târnava Mică River, part of the Mureș River basin. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in the Transylvanian Plateau. The treated effluent contributes to the water quality of downstream rivers that flow into the Danube and eventually the Black Sea, highlighting the need for effective nutrient removal to prevent eutrophication.
