ROWP SC APA PROD SA CO Simeria pl Com Bacia - Wastewater Treatment Plant in Tâmpa, Romania

ROWP SC APA PROD SA CO Simeria pl Com Bacia is a wastewater treatment plant located in Tâmpa, a locality within Băcia commune, Hunedoara County, Romania. The plant serves a population of approximately 1,200 people, classifying it as a small agglomeration under Romanian and EU regulations. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the minimum standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for freshwater discharges from agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 1,500 m³/day and a current discharge volume of 34.51 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth or seasonal variations. The treated effluent is discharged into local rivers that ultimately drain into the Mureș River, a major tributary of the Tisza River, which flows into the Danube and then the Black Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the water quality of the Mureș basin and downstream ecosystems.

The plant discharges into the Mureș River basin, which flows into the Tisza River, a major tributary of the Danube. The Danube then empties into the Black Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional biodiversity. The secondary treatment provided helps reduce organic pollutants and protect downstream water quality in this ecologically sensitive river system.
