ROWP SC APA CTTA SA SUC BLAJ PL JIDVEI Wastewater Treatment Plant, Jidvei, Romania

ROWP SC APA CTTA SA SUC BLAJ PL JIDVEI is a wastewater treatment plant located in Jidvei, Alba County, Romania. It serves a small population of 268 residents, reflecting its role in a rural or small-town setting. The plant is operated as part of the regional water utility infrastructure. 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 of this size. The designed capacity of 2550 m³/day indicates the plant is sized to handle peak flows, though current discharge volume is 9.17 m³/day. Romania, as an EU member state, enforces compliance with the directive, ensuring that treated effluent meets quality standards before discharge. The plant's treated wastewater is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Târnava Mică River, a tributary of the Târnava Mare River, part of the Mureș River basin. This basin flows into the Tisza River and eventually the Danube River, reaching the Black Sea. The plant's operation helps protect downstream aquatic ecosystems and supports water quality in the region.

The plant discharges into the Târnava Mică River, which joins the Târnava Mare to form the Târnava River, a tributary of the Mureș River. The Mureș flows into the Tisza River, a major tributary of the Danube, which empties into the Black Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional biodiversity. Secondary treatment reduces organic pollutants and nutrients, mitigating eutrophication risks in downstream water bodies.
