The Water Treatment Plant of Salonika receives water from Aliakmon River and treats it to potable for the supply of the urban group of Salonica town. The plant is located at Sindos area, 11 km west of Salonica. The Plant has a treatment capacity of 150.000 m³/day at present stage, with provision up to 600.000 m³/day at complete development. The treatment achieves removal of solids, asbestos, pesticides and organic load. At present stage, the Plant supplies water to 1,100,000 inhabitants of the city.The dams constructed along Aliakmon River for irrigation and energy production, ensure a high degree of flow regulation. The water is diverted to an open channel, connecting Aliakmon with Axios River, from where it is siphoned under the river to Sindos Pumping Station with an 8 km pipe. It is then pumped to the plant (Tank D2) by a 5 km discharge pipe, where it enters through a DN 1700 steel pipe, equipped with a regulating valve and a flow-meter for flow regulation.
