Overview
ROWP SC Edilul CGA SA Campulung serves the city of Campulung, Romania, treating wastewater for approximately 35,000 residents. The plant operates under Romania's implementation of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive.
ROWP SC Edilul CGA SA Campulung is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Campulung, Arges County, Romania. The facility serves a population of approximately 35,217 people, classifying it as a medium-sized agglomeration under EU standards. The plant is situated on Strada Grigore Alexandrescu and plays a key role in managing the city's wastewater. As a Romanian plant, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which mandates secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The directive also requires more advanced treatment if the receiving waters are sensitive areas. The plant is expected to meet EU standards for biological treatment and nutrient removal where applicable. The plant discharges treated effluent into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Danube River basin and ultimately the Black Sea. Proper treatment helps protect downstream ecosystems, including the Danube Delta, a region of high ecological importance. The facility contributes to reducing nutrient loads and organic pollution in the watershed.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent flows into local streams within the Arges River basin, a tributary of the Danube. The Danube carries water through Romania and into the Danube Delta before reaching the Black Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor. Effective wastewater treatment at Campulung helps reduce nutrient pollution that could otherwise contribute to eutrophication in the Danube Delta and Black Sea coastal zone.
