ROWP SPGCM Maneciu sect Cheia is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Măneciu, a commune in Prahova County, Romania. The plant serves a population of 1,142 and has a designed capacity of 2,850 m³/day, with an actual discharge volume of 102.34 m³/day. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment stage required under Romanian and EU regulations for agglomerations of this size. As a small agglomeration (under 2,000 population equivalent), it falls under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive 91/271/EEC, which mandates appropriate treatment before discharge into receiving waters. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Ialomița River and then to the Danube River, which flows into the Black Sea. The plant plays a role in protecting the local aquatic environment and downstream ecosystems from untreated wastewater pollution.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into small streams in the Prahova Valley, which flow into the Ialomița River, a tributary of the Danube. The Danube then carries water to the Black Sea. The region is part of the Carpathian foothills, with sensitive freshwater ecosystems that support diverse aquatic life. Proper treatment helps maintain water quality in this ecologically important area.
