ROWP Gavojdia is a wastewater treatment plant located in Găvojdia, a commune in Timiș County, western Romania. The plant serves a small population of 891 residents, reflecting the rural character of the area. It operates with a designed capacity of 73.00 m³/day and currently handles a discharge volume of 76.81 m³/day. As a primary treatment facility, ROWP Gavojdia provides basic physical sedimentation and screening.

The plant's capacity utilization suggests it is operating near its designed limit. The treated effluent from ROWP Gavojdia is discharged into a local watercourse that eventually drains into the Timiș River, a tributary of the Tisza River, which flows into the Danube and ultimately the Black Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting local water quality in this rural catchment area.

ROWP Gavojdia discharges into a small stream that feeds the Timiș River, part of the Tisza-Danube basin. The Timiș River supports diverse aquatic life and is used for irrigation and recreation downstream. The plant's primary treatment reduces suspended solids and organic load, helping to maintain water quality in this ecologically sensitive region before the waters reach the Danube and the Black Sea.
