Bekkelaget water treatment plant

Bekkelaget treatment plant is Norway’s second largest treatment plant. The first sewerage plant at Bekkelaget was built in 1963, and was subsequently extended and rebuilt on several occasions. In 2001, a new, state-of-the-art plant was built in order to comply with new and more stringent requirements.

Oslo is Europe’s fastest-growing city and forecasts suggest a continuing strong growth. In order to maintain the quality of the water in the Oslo fjord, it is necessary to expand the treatment capacity.
