The plant serves a population of around 1,264 residents, classifying it as a small agglomeration under EU standards. The facility provides secondary biological treatment, which is the minimum required level under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for freshwater discharges from agglomerations of this size. The plant has a designed capacity of 2,500 m³ per day, with an average daily discharge volume of approximately 410 m³, indicating operational headroom for future growth. The treated effluent is discharged into a local watercourse that ultimately drains into the Tichá Orlice River, a tributary of the Orlice River, which flows into the Elbe River and then to the North Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the water quality of the Tichá Orlice catchment, supporting aquatic life and downstream ecosystems.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into a small stream that feeds the Tichá Orlice River, part of the Elbe River basin. The Tichá Orlice supports diverse freshwater species and is an important corridor for migratory fish. The Elbe ultimately reaches the North Sea, making nutrient and pollutant control at this plant relevant to both local and downstream marine environments.
