Forward looking aspect
Identified reason(s) for non compliance: 
Failed BOD and COD quality standards. Absence of adequate secondary treatment.
Measure(s) to reach the compliance needed for UWWTP: 
Works completed - WWTP upgrade.
Load entering the UWWTP at the expected date of compliance (as planned): 
1689
Organic design capacity UWWTP (as planned): 
2400
Type of treatment UWWTP (as planned): 
3P
Date or expected date of completion of preparatory measures (planning, design, etc): 
21 June 2016
Date or expected start date for works: 
22 August 2016
Date or expected date of completion of works: 
22 February 2018
Expected date of compliance (12 months of compliant samples) : 
22 February 2019
Forecast cost investment needed for the UWWTP (as in the national plan): 
4.96
Any relevant comment on UWWTP: 
Below the size threshold for mandatory compliance with Article 4 effluent quality standards in the previous reporting exercise (2014) but the agglomeration size increased above the threshold in 2016. A more detailed assessment of the load undertaken in 2017 shows that the load is now 1,575 p.e. which is under the threshold.
