ROWP COMUNA ROMOS ev1 Wastewater Treatment Plant, Romoș, Hunedoara, Romania

ROWP COMUNA ROMOS ev1 is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Romoș, a commune in Hunedoara County, Romania. The plant serves a small population of 745 residents and has a designed capacity of 1,200 m³/day, indicating it is sized for modest community needs. It operates under Romania's implementation of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this scale. The plant provides secondary treatment, a standard biological process that removes organic matter and suspended solids. Secondary treatment is the minimum required by EU regulations for freshwater discharges from communities of this size. The plant's discharge volume of 36.60 m³/day suggests it operates well within its capacity. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that drain into the Mureș River basin, part of the larger Tisza River system flowing into the Danube. This region supports diverse aquatic life and agricultural activities downstream. Proper treatment helps protect water quality in the sensitive Carpathian foothill environment.

The plant discharges into small streams that feed the Mureș River, a major tributary of the Tisza River, which ultimately flows into the Danube River and the Black Sea. The local watershed in Hunedoara County features hilly terrain and mixed forest-agricultural land use. Downstream ecosystems support fish populations and migratory bird species, making effective wastewater treatment important for maintaining ecological balance.
