BOR Home for the Elderly at Črni Vrh with 139 residents and 40 employees has been using a small wastewater treatment plant with the capacity of 350 PE since 2003. The cleaned wastewater from the treatment plant is discharged into a sinking river. Measurements required for the operation monitoring of wastewater have been conducted twice a year. At the end of 2019, a new SWWTP with the capacity of 900 PE (financed by the municipality) should have been built at the same location; unfortunately, the plan was not carried out. Since the existing SWWTP did not operate properly, the plant manager was issued a decision by the competent inspectorate instructing them to remedy the situation. When the manufacturer of SWWTP did not respond to the appeals from the representatives of the Home, they seeked professional help from us at the Domžale-Kamnik CČN because we possess all the necessary knowledge and know exactly how to manage complex processes of wastewater treatment. Following an inspection, we carried out all the necessary analyses and defined measures to achieve a smooth operation of the SWWTP; and the operation of the SWWPT is now indeed flawless.
