ROWP Statia de epurare Sacadat - Secondary Wastewater Treatment Plant in Săcădat, Bihor, Romania

ROWP Statia de epurare Sacadat is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Săcădat, Bihor County, Romania. The plant serves a small population of 345 residents and operates with a designed capacity of 1200 cubic meters per day, with a current discharge volume of 217.45 cubic meters per day. As a secondary treatment facility, the plant provides biological treatment to remove organic matter and suspended solids. Under Romanian and EU regulations, secondary treatment is the minimum standard for agglomerations of this size, ensuring compliance with the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). The plant's capacity utilization suggests it operates well below its design capacity, indicating room for future growth. The plant discharges treated wastewater into the local hydrological network, which ultimately drains into the Crișul Repede River and then into the Tisza River basin, part of the larger Danube River system. This water body supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional water quality and ecological health.

The plant's discharge enters the Crișul Repede River, a tributary of the Tisza River, which flows into the Danube River and eventually the Black Sea. The local watershed supports a variety of freshwater species and provides water for agricultural and recreational uses. Maintaining secondary treatment standards helps protect downstream water quality and aquatic habitats.
