ROWP COMUNA ROMOS ev3 Romosel Wastewater Treatment Plant, Romoșel, Hunedoara

ROWP COMUNA ROMOS ev3 Romosel is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Romoșel, a village in the commune of Romoș, Hunedoara County, Romania. The plant serves a small population of approximately 100 residents, reflecting its role in a rural community within the Transylvanian 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 (PE) between 2,000 and 10,000. Although the plant's population served is below this threshold, the secondary treatment level ensures compliance with basic effluent quality standards for organic matter and suspended solids. The treated effluent is discharged into a local watercourse, which ultimately drains into the Mureș River, a major tributary of the Tisza River and part of the Danube basin. The plant's operation helps protect the local aquatic environment and downstream ecosystems, including the Mureș River's diverse fish populations and riparian habitats.

The plant discharges into a small stream that flows into the Mureș River, which runs through the Apuseni Mountains and the Transylvanian Plateau before joining the Tisza River in Hungary. The Mureș River supports diverse aquatic life, including several fish species, and its floodplains provide important habitats for migratory birds. The secondary treatment at this plant reduces organic pollution and helps maintain water quality in this ecologically sensitive river system.
