We can rightly consider Érdet the southern gate of our capital. The area and population of the settlement, located barely 10 kilometers from Budapest, rivals that of medium-sized districts of the capital. The city, which has county rights, has a diverse range of buildings, so those involved in sewer cleaning face many challenges. Especially because the sewer service is still lacking in most parts of the city.
From a holiday resort to a city with county rights
Traces of human life have been found in Érd since about 50,000 years ago. Some of the finds discovered by archaeologists can now be seen in the famous Hungarian Geographical Museum in the city. The first documented mention of the settlement dates back to the 13th century. Although at that time they only lived in the Old Town, both its area and population expanded in the following century. However, during the Turkish occupation – due to its location near the border – the city was almost completely depopulated, and the rebuilding of the settlement could only begin in the 18th century.
After the creation of the united Budapest in 1873, the development of the city of Érd accelerated. Partly due to the relatively cheap land prices and partly due to the favorable access to nearby workplaces, residents came here from many parts of the country. While initially a holiday resort, by the mid-20th century the settlement, which had swelled to a population of several tens of thousands, was known as „the largest village in Central Europe”.
Due to its dynamic development, the city was divided into 11 districts in the 1960s, a division that remained until the 2000s. Nowadays, however, it is no longer the district number that helps us identify which part of the city we are in, but rather the names of the neighborhoods (e.g. Ófalu, Parkváros, etc.).
Toothless sewerage – developing wastewater treatment
The entire city of Érd is characterized by a diverse range of buildings. While there are ten-story panel houses in the city center, the suburbs are dominated by single-story family houses. Our specialists are therefore primarily called to solve problems typical of garden houses (e.g. removing root growth, cleaning septic tanks, etc.). Especially since the sewerage system on the outskirts of the city is only partially adequate. There are entire streets without piped drinking water or proper sewage disposal.
Nowadays, one of the biggest problems of Érd is the city's low level of sewerage. According to the data, only every fourth apartment in the settlement has a built-in sewerage network. With a sewerage rate of 23 percent, Érd is in the worst position compared to the surrounding settlements (Diósd, Tárnok), while it has the largest population of the three cities.
Although the Érd wastewater collection plant receives wastewater from the three mentioned settlements, another problem is the poor technical condition of the currently operating collection network.
This can be particularly problematic during rainy periods. At such times, large amounts of rainwater and wastewater arrive from the areas of the aforementioned settlements. Since the amount of rainfall fluctuates between extremes, the treatment of the incoming wastewater sometimes causes operational problems.
The Érd Sewerage Water Management Company is therefore planning to expand the current wastewater treatment plant. According to plans, the wastewater treatment plant will be built in several stages, and the finished building will be integrated into the unified system. After the development, the total area of the wastewater treatment plant will be approximately 35,000 m2.
