ROWP SC Jovila Construct SRL suc Paulesti is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Păuleștii Noi, Prahova County, Romania. The facility serves a population of approximately 1,145 people and operates under Romania's implementation of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). As a small agglomeration, the plant is required to provide secondary treatment, which it currently delivers. The plant has a designed capacity of 4,850 m³/day and treats an average daily flow of 270.94 m³/day, indicating significant spare capacity. The treatment process is secondary, which typically involves biological treatment to reduce organic matter and suspended solids. Romania's water legislation aligns with EU standards, requiring appropriate treatment before discharge to surface waters. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that drain into the Prahova River, a tributary of the Ialomița River, which ultimately flows into the Danube River and then the Black Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the local watershed from untreated sewage, supporting aquatic life and downstream water quality in the Danube basin.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Prahova River basin, which flows into the Ialomița River, a major tributary of the Danube. The Danube then empties into the Black Sea, a semi-enclosed sea with sensitive ecosystems. The local watershed supports diverse aquatic habitats and is important for migratory fish species. Secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient loads that could otherwise contribute to eutrophication in downstream water bodies.
