Die Kläranlage Bonn-Duisdorf liegt am Rand des Messdorfer Feldes zwischen Lessenich und Messdorf. Abwasser der Bonner Ortsteile Duisdorf und Lengsdorf sowie der außerhalb liegenden Ortschaften Witterschlick, Volmershoven, Gielsdorf, Impekoven und Oedekoven wird hier verarbeitet.

Die Anlage ist auf 36.250 Einwohner ausgelegt, etwa 29.300 sind aktuell angeschlossen. Die tägliche Wassermenge schwankt dabei je nach Wetter zwischen 4.800 und 22.400 m³. Innerhalb von 57 Stunden durchläuft das Wasser vier Reinigungsstufen: mechanische, biologische und chemische Reinigung sowie Filtration. Pro Jahr fallen dabei etwa 1.600 m³ Klärschlamm an, der in Faultürmen gelagert, entwässert und anschließend zur Kläranlage Salierweg zur dortigen Verbrennung gebracht wird. Das gefilterte Wasser wird in den Rhein abgeleitet.
The Bonn-Duisdorf wastewater treatment facility is located on the edge of Messdorf field between Lessenich and Messdorf. Wastewater from the Bonn districts of Duisdorf and Lengsdorf as well as the outlying villages of Witterschlick, Volmershoven, Gielsdorf, Impekoven and Oedekoven is processed here.

The plant is designed for 36,250 residents, around 29,300 are currently connected. The daily amount of water fluctuates between 4,800 and 22,400 m³ depending on the weather. Within 57 hours, the water goes through four purification stages: mechanical, biological and chemical purification as well as filtration. Every year around 1,600 m³ of sewage sludge accumulate, which are stored in digestion towers, drained and then brought to the Salierweg sewage treatment plant for incineration. The filtered water is drained into the river Rhine.
