Updating the EU rules on urban wastewater treatment

Published: April 14, 2023, 7 a.m.

b'The proposed update to the Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive would introduce new obligations to better control pollution due to rainwater, impose stricter standards for nutrient removal and require advanced treatment for the removal of micro-pollutants. To cover treatment costs, a system of extended producer responsibility targeting pharmaceuticals and cosmetics would be set up. To align the directive with the Green Deal\'s ambitions, an energy neutrality obligation would be introduced for wastewater treatment plants.
