BUBIKONWOLFHAUSEN Wastewater Treatment Plant, Wolfhausen, Zürich, Switzerland

The BUBIKONWOLFHAUSEN wastewater treatment plant is located in Wolfhausen, a village in the municipality of Bubikon, in the canton of Zürich, Switzerland. The plant serves a population of 3,048 and has a designed capacity of 1.00, indicating a small-scale facility typical of rural agglomerations in Switzerland. As a Swiss wastewater treatment plant, it operates under the Swiss Water Protection Act (Gewässerschutzgesetz), which mandates strict effluent standards. For small agglomerations like this, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically required to protect sensitive water bodies. The plant's coastal proximity suggests it may discharge into a river system that eventually reaches Lake Zurich or the Rhine basin. The plant's location in the Zürich region places it within the Rhine drainage basin. The treated effluent likely flows into local streams that feed into the Rhine River, which ultimately drains into the North Sea. This underscores the plant's role in protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems and drinking water sources.

The plant is situated in the Zürich region, part of the Rhine basin. The treated wastewater likely discharges into local watercourses that flow into Lake Zurich or the Rhine River, which then drains into the North Sea. The area supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional water quality, especially given the proximity to sensitive ecosystems and recreational waters.
