COV Lysice Wastewater Treatment Plant | Lysice, Czech Republic

COV Lysice is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in the town of Lysice, within the Jihomoravský kraj (South Moravian Region) of the Czech Republic. The plant serves a population of approximately 937 residents, classifying it as a small agglomeration under Czech and EU regulatory frameworks. 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 1,800 m³/day and an average daily discharge volume of 291.23 m³, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth or seasonal variations. Treated effluent from COV Lysice is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Svratka River basin, part of the Danube River system flowing into the Black Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the region's water quality and supporting the ecological health of downstream aquatic habitats.

The plant discharges into the local watershed, which is part of the Svratka River basin. The Svratka River flows into the Dyje River, a tributary of the Morava River, which then joins the Danube River and eventually reaches the Black Sea. This catchment supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional biodiversity. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce organic pollution and nutrient loads, contributing to the ecological balance of the downstream water bodies.
