Big Changes for Wastewater Treatment in the EU At the beginning of November, the EU (yes, the one with the plastic bottle cap rules) approved the revision of the Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive (UWWTD). 🎉 Here are the 5️⃣ biggest changes: • Fourth-stage treatment for micropollutants is now required. • Stricter nutrient requirements are coming. • Energy neutrality by 2045 is a must. • Stormwater overflows must be addressed. • Collection and treatment requirements are being expanded to smaller agglomerations. Sounds great, right? The catch: most countries are far from ready. Take a look at this graphic highlighting the 10 largest plants that could become noncompliant under the new UWWTD. Sure, there’s about 20 years for implementation, but here’s the usual cycle: New rules are set. Everyone screams. Everyone asks for more money. It’s like dealing with my teenage boys. 🤣 Don’t get me wrong—I’m thrilled about the new regulations and the progress they bring! But it feels a bit… wired. The EU raises the bar, the member states raise their hands asking for funding to meet the requirements, and at the same time, these states pay to be part of the EU. The circle of... EU money. It’s like Germany increasing speeding fines, and me asking the finance department for a loan to pay my next one.
