ROWP Salubri Statie de epurare Alesd is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Aleșd, a town in Bihor County, Romania. The plant serves a population of approximately 7,400 residents, classifying it as a small to medium agglomeration under EU classification. As part of Romania's wastewater infrastructure, it contributes to the treatment of domestic wastewater from the local community. Under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), agglomerations of this size are required to provide secondary treatment or equivalent. The plant is expected to comply with Romanian national regulations that transpose the directive. The plant's capacity and operational status are managed by local authorities to meet environmental standards. The treated effluent from the plant is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Crișul Repede River, a tributary of the Körös River system, which flows into the Tisza River and eventually the Danube River basin. This downstream connection highlights the plant's role in protecting water quality in the broader Danube catchment area.
Environmental context
