In 2018, Estonia had 57 urban waste water agglomerations of more then 2 000 population equivalent (p.e). These agglomerations generated a total load of 1 487 912 p.e. 97% of this load is connected to collecting systems and 3% addressed through Individual and Appropriate Systems (storage or septic tanks, micro-stations,...). These agglomerations are connected to 2 secondary treatment plants and 49 more stringent treatment plants. All these treatment plants have a total design capacity of 1 699 255 p.e.
