COV Hrusovany nad Jevisovkou Wastewater Treatment Plant, Hrušovany nad Jevišovkou

COV Hrusovany nad Jevisovkou is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Hrušovany nad Jevišovkou, a town in the Jihomoravský kraj (South Moravian Region) of the Czech Republic. The plant serves a population of approximately 2,077 residents, classifying it as a small agglomeration under Czech and EU wastewater regulations. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the minimum standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for freshwater discharges from agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 4,500 cubic meters per day and an actual discharge volume of about 494 cubic meters per day, the facility operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth or seasonal variability. The treated wastewater is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Dyje River and then the Morava River, a tributary of the Danube. The plant plays a key role in protecting the water quality of these rivers and the broader Danube basin, supporting aquatic ecosystems and downstream water uses.

The plant discharges into the Jevišovka River, a tributary of the Dyje River, which flows into the Morava River and eventually the Danube. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is part of the ecologically significant Danube basin. The region's agricultural landscape means the plant helps mitigate nutrient loading, protecting downstream water bodies from eutrophication.
