Aquafin bouwt en beheert de infrastructuur voor de zuivering van rioolwater volgens de 11 rivierbekkens die Vlaanderen telt: IJzer, Brugse polders, Gentse kanalen, Beneden Schelde, Leie, Boven Schelde, Dender, Dijle, Demer, Nete en Maas, opgedeeld in Maas I en Maas II.

Elk bekken is verder onderverdeeld in zuiveringsgebieden. In het hart van elk zuiverings-gebied staat een zuiveringsinstallatie, die gevoed wordt door collectoren. Deze verzamelriolen vangen het afvalwater op uit de riolen van de omliggende gemeenten of delen van gemeenten. Naar welke installatie uw rioolwater precies gaat, hangt af van het reliëf van het landschap in uw streek. Water stroomt immers van hoog naar laag.Deze waterzuiveringsinstalatie is gebouwd in 1983
