STP TOLLEBEEK

Waste water treatment
STP TOLLEBEEK
Sewers transport waste water to sewage treatment plants (STPs). Together with four other
plants managed by the Zuiderzeeland Regional Water Authority, the Tollebeek STP treats
the water until it is clean enough to be pumped back into the surface water.
