COV Chlumec u Chabarovic - Secondary Wastewater Treatment Plant in Chlumec, Czech Republic

COV Chlumec u Chabarovic is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Chlumec, a town in the Ústecký kraj region of the Czech Republic. The plant serves a population of 2,634 and is part of the country's wastewater infrastructure managed under EU regulations. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. It has a designed capacity of 4,267 m³/day and currently discharges 543.36 m³/day of treated effluent. The treated wastewater is discharged into a local watercourse that ultimately drains into the Elbe River basin. The Elbe flows through Germany to the North Sea, making the plant's operations important for downstream water quality in both the Czech Republic and neighboring countries.

The plant's effluent enters a small stream that feeds into the Elbe River basin. The Elbe is a major Central European river that flows through the Czech Republic and Germany before reaching the North Sea. The watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce organic pollution and protect downstream habitats.
