COV Bor Ostrov u Tachova CTP Nova Hospoda is a former wastewater treatment plant located in Ostrov, part of the town of Bor in the Plzeňský kraj region of the Czech Republic. The plant provided secondary treatment for the local community before its closure. As a secondary treatment facility, it would have met the requirements of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which mandates secondary biological treatment for agglomerations of this scale.
