UWWTP_LENART Wastewater Treatment Plant, Lenart, Slovenia

UWWTP_LENART is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Šetarova, near the town of Lenart in northeastern Slovenia. The plant serves a small population of 81 people and operates with a designed capacity of 650 m³/day, with a current discharge volume of 240 m³/day. As a secondary treatment facility, UWWTP_LENART meets the requirements of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which mandates secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The plant's treatment process ensures that organic matter and suspended solids are effectively reduced before discharge. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Drava River, a major tributary of the Danube. The Drava River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in the region. The plant's operation helps protect the local watershed and downstream environments from pollution.

The treated wastewater from UWWTP_LENART is discharged into small streams that flow into the Drava River, which eventually joins the Danube and reaches the Black Sea. The Drava River basin supports a variety of fish species and provides habitat for migratory birds. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient loads, protecting the ecological health of the downstream water bodies.
