The plant serves a population of approximately 3,497 people, placing it in the small agglomeration category under Czech and EU regulations. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for freshwater discharges from agglomerations of this size. It has a designed capacity of 12,000 m³/day, with an actual discharge volume of 659.81 m³/day, indicating significant reserve capacity. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Dyje River, a tributary of the Morava River, and then into the Danube River basin. This water body supports diverse aquatic life and is part of the larger Danube catchment, which flows into the Black Sea.

The plant discharges into the Dyje River basin, which flows into the Morava River and then the Danube River, eventually reaching the Black Sea. The Dyje River is an important ecological corridor in the South Moravian region, supporting diverse aquatic habitats and migratory fish species. The area is also known for its agricultural and wine-growing regions, where water quality is critical for both ecosystem health and human use.
