COV Kamenice nad Lipou - Secondary Wastewater Treatment Plant in Kraj Vysočina

COV Kamenice nad Lipou is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Kamenice nad Lipou, a town in the Kraj Vysočina region of the Czech Republic. The plant serves a population of 3,740 and is part of the country's wastewater infrastructure managed under EU regulations. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive for agglomerations of this size. It has a designed capacity of 7,500 m³/day and currently discharges an average of 880.42 m³/day of treated effluent, indicating ample reserve capacity. The treated wastewater is discharged into a local watercourse that ultimately drains into the North Sea via the Elbe River basin. The plant plays a key role in protecting the local aquatic environment and downstream water quality in the region.

The plant discharges into a small stream that flows into the Kamenice River, a tributary of the Nežárka River, which joins the Lužnice River and eventually the Vltava River, a major Elbe tributary. The Elbe flows through Germany to the North Sea. The watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional biodiversity, with the downstream waters used for recreation and fishing.
