The plant is situated inland, away from coastal zones, and its operations are part of Romania's compliance with the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 4,200 m³/day, the current discharge volume of 113.53 m³/day indicates a low utilization rate, typical for small rural plants.
