ROWP SC GOSPODARIE COMUNALA SA SfGheorghe Wastewater Treatment Plant, Sepsiszentgyörgy, Romania

ROWP SC GOSPODARIE COMUNALA SA SfGheorghe is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Simeria Veche, Sepsiszentgyörgy, Covasna County, Romania. The plant serves a population of approximately 57,387, classifying it as a medium-to-large agglomeration under EU classification. As a Romanian facility, the plant operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which mandates secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. For plants serving between 10,000 and 150,000 population equivalent, secondary treatment is required, with tertiary treatment needed if discharging into sensitive areas. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that ultimately drain into the Olt River basin, which flows southward to the Danube River and then to the Black Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the region's water quality and supporting downstream aquatic ecosystems.

The plant discharges into the Olt River basin, which flows into the Danube River and eventually reaches the Black Sea. The downstream environment includes ecologically sensitive areas that support diverse aquatic life and migratory fish species. Proper treatment helps prevent nutrient pollution and protects water quality in this important transboundary river system.
