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 with a population equivalent below 10,000. The designed capacity of 2,000 m³/day indicates the plant was built to accommodate future growth or seasonal variations.

The plant's secondary treatment reduces organic pollutants and nutrients, helping to prevent eutrophication in downstream waters. The region's agricultural activities also benefit from maintained water quality.
