REVEROLLE Wastewater Treatment Plant, Hautemorges, Vaud, Switzerland

REVEROLLE is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Hautemorges, within the canton of Vaud, Switzerland. The facility serves a small population of 310 residents and operates with a designed capacity of 725 cubic meters per day, reflecting its role in managing local domestic wastewater. As an advanced treatment plant, REVEROLLE goes beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants, ensuring high-quality effluent. This level of treatment is typical for Swiss plants discharging into sensitive water bodies, in line with the country's stringent water protection regulations under the Swiss Water Protection Act (GSchG). The plant's treated effluent is discharged into the local hydrological network, which ultimately drains into Lake Geneva (Lac Léman) via the Morges River and other streams. Lake Geneva is a major freshwater resource and ecologically sensitive area, supporting diverse aquatic life and serving as a critical water source for the region.

REVEROLLE discharges into the local watershed that flows into the Morges River and then into Lake Geneva, one of Europe's largest freshwater lakes. The lake supports a rich ecosystem, including fish species like Arctic char and whitefish, and is a vital drinking water reservoir. The advanced treatment helps protect this sensitive environment from nutrient pollution and other contaminants.
