FUENTERROBLES Wastewater Treatment Plant, Fuenterrobles, Comunitat Valenciana, Spain

The FUENTERROBLES wastewater treatment plant is located in Fuenterrobles, a municipality in the La Plana de Utiel-Requena comarca of Valencia, within the Comunitat Valenciana region of Spain. The plant serves a population of approximately 2,014 residents and is part of the region's municipal wastewater infrastructure. The plant operates with secondary treatment, which is the standard level required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. The designed capacity is 4,000 m³/day, and the current discharge volume is 262.30 m³/day, indicating operational capacity well below design limits. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Mediterranean Sea via the Júcar River basin. The plant plays a key role in protecting downstream water quality and supporting the ecological health of the region's rivers and coastal areas.

The plant discharges into the Júcar River basin, which flows eastward through the Comunitat Valenciana and empties into the Mediterranean Sea near Cullera. The downstream environment supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional agriculture and tourism. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce organic pollutants and nutrients, mitigating eutrophication risks in the coastal zone.
