COV Mesto Albrechtice Wastewater Treatment Plant, Město Albrechtice, Czech Republic

COV Mesto Albrechtice is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Město Albrechtice, in the Moravskoslezský kraj region of the Czech Republic. The plant serves a small population of around 700 residents, reflecting its role in a rural or small-town setting. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard level required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations with a population equivalent (PE) between 2,000 and 10,000. Although the designed capacity is 3,965 m³/day, the current discharge volume is 422.34 m³/day, indicating significant spare capacity. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Baltic Sea via the Oder River basin. The plant helps protect the local aquatic environment by reducing organic pollutants and nutrients, supporting water quality in the region's streams and rivers.

The plant discharges into small streams in the Oder River basin, which flows northward through the Czech Republic, Poland, and into the Baltic Sea. The local watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is part of a region with sensitive ecosystems, including areas important for migratory fish and waterfowl. Effective treatment helps prevent eutrophication in downstream waters.
