VULLIENSSIEMV Wastewater Treatment Plant, Vulliens, Vaud, Switzerland

VULLIENSSIEMV is a wastewater treatment plant located in the municipality of Vulliens, within the District de la Broye-Vully in the canton of Vaud, Switzerland. The plant serves a population of around 3,538 residents, placing it in the small-to-medium agglomeration category under Swiss wastewater management frameworks. As a Swiss treatment facility, VULLIENSSIEMV is subject to the Swiss Water Protection Act (Gewässerschutzgesetz), which mandates appropriate treatment levels based on the sensitivity of the receiving environment. For plants of this scale, secondary treatment is typically required, with possible nutrient removal if the receiving water body is in a sensitive area. The plant's designed capacity is 1.00 (likely in thousands of cubic meters per day or similar unit), indicating a modest infrastructure footprint. The treated effluent from VULLIENSSIEMV is discharged into local watercourses that drain into the Broye River, a tributary of the Aare River, which ultimately flows into the Rhine River and the North Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the water quality of these downstream ecosystems, supporting aquatic life and recreational uses in the region.

VULLIENSSIEMV discharges into the local watershed that feeds the Broye River, a tributary of the Aare River within the Rhine basin. The Rhine ultimately flows into the North Sea. The plant's operations help protect the ecological health of these water bodies, which support diverse aquatic species and are used for recreation and agriculture. The region's temperate climate and agricultural land use require careful nutrient management to prevent eutrophication in downstream lakes and rivers.
