ROWP SC Serv Teh Com SOVATA Sector Sangiorg is a wastewater treatment plant located in Sângeorgiu de Pădure, Mureș County, Romania. The plant serves a population of approximately 992 residents, classifying it as a small agglomeration under Romanian and EU regulations. As a primary treatment facility, the plant provides basic physical treatment such as sedimentation to remove settleable solids. The designed capacity is 1,500 m³/day, with a current discharge volume of 40.43 m³/day. Under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), small agglomerations like this are generally required to provide appropriate treatment, though primary treatment may be acceptable for discharges into less sensitive areas. The plant discharges into the local watershed, which is part of the Mureș River basin. The Mureș River flows westward through Romania and Hungary before joining the Tisza River, a major tributary of the Danube. The downstream environment supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional biodiversity.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Mureș River basin, which drains into the Tisza River and ultimately the Danube River and Black Sea. The Mureș River supports a variety of fish species and provides habitat for migratory birds. The watershed is ecologically sensitive, and primary treatment may not fully remove nutrients, potentially contributing to eutrophication in downstream water bodies.
