ROWP LITENI Wastewater Treatment Plant, Liteni, Suceava, Romania

ROWP LITENI is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located on Strada Humăriei in Liteni, Suceava County, Romania. The facility serves a small population of 353 residents and operates under Romania's implementation of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the minimum standard required under the EU directive for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 3,700 m³/day and an actual discharge volume of 11.51 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating it is sized for future growth or seasonal peaks. The treated effluent is discharged into a local watercourse that eventually drains into the Siret River, a major tributary of the Danube. The Danube then flows into the Black Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting local water quality and downstream ecosystems in the Siret basin.

The plant discharges into a local tributary of the Siret River, which flows into the Danube and ultimately the Black Sea. The Siret basin supports diverse aquatic life and is an important corridor for migratory fish. Secondary treatment reduces organic pollutants and suspended solids, helping to maintain water quality in this ecologically sensitive region.
