Serving a population of approximately 6,277, the plant is part of the local infrastructure managed by the municipality. The facility operates with advanced treatment processes, ensuring high-quality effluent standards. The plant has a designed capacity of 7,500 cubic meters per day and currently discharges around 985 cubic meters of treated wastewater daily.

The treated effluent from Sunne avloppsreningsverk is discharged into local water bodies that eventually drain into Lake Vänern, Sweden's largest lake, and then via the Göta älv river to the Kattegat sea. This downstream chain supports diverse aquatic life and is ecologically sensitive, making the plant's advanced treatment crucial for protecting water quality.

The plant discharges into local streams that flow into Lake Vänern, a major European lake and part of the Göta älv river system, which ultimately reaches the Kattegat sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic ecosystems, including fish spawning grounds and migratory bird habitats. The advanced treatment at Sunne helps protect these downstream environments from nutrient pollution and other contaminants.
