ROWP SC APA CTTA SA FilAiud SRL is a wastewater treatment plant located in Aiud, Alba County, Romania. The plant serves a population of approximately 17,562, classifying it as a medium agglomeration under EU standards. It is situated inland, away from coastal areas, and its operations are part of the regional water management infrastructure. As a plant serving over 10,000 people, it falls under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment as a minimum. Romania has transposed this directive into national law, and plants of this scale are expected to meet the directive's standards for collection and treatment. The regulatory framework ensures compliance with EU norms. The plant discharges treated wastewater into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Mureș River, a major tributary of the Tisza River, which flows into the Danube and ultimately the Black Sea. This downstream chain highlights the plant's role in protecting the Mureș River basin and the broader Danube ecosystem from pollution.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent enters local waterways that feed into the Mureș River, a significant river in Transylvania. The Mureș River flows westward into the Tisza River, which joins the Danube before reaching the Black Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor. The plant's operations help maintain water quality in this sensitive river system, which is subject to EU water quality standards.
