COV Lostice Vlcice Wastewater Treatment Plant, Loštice, Olomoucký kraj

COV Lostice Vlcice is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in the Vlčice area of Loštice, within the Olomoucký kraj region of the Czech Republic. The facility serves a small population of 82 residents, reflecting its role in a rural or small community setting. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment level required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 263.00 m³/day and an actual discharge volume of 21.02 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth or seasonal variations. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Morava River basin, part of the Danube River system flowing into the Black Sea. The plant's operation helps protect the ecological health of these waterways, supporting aquatic life and downstream water quality.

The plant discharges into local streams that feed into the Morava River, a major tributary of the Danube. The Danube basin is a critical European waterway supporting diverse aquatic ecosystems and migratory fish species. The secondary treatment provided by the plant reduces organic pollutants and nutrients, helping to maintain water quality in this sensitive river network.
