COV Milotice Wastewater Treatment Plant | Milotice, Jihomoravský kraj

COV Milotice is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Milotice, a village in the Jihomoravský kraj (South Moravian Region) of the Czech Republic. The plant serves a population of approximately 4,842 people and has a designed capacity of 7,000 m³ per day, with an average discharge volume of 575.74 m³ per day. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. The Czech Republic implements this directive through national legislation, ensuring that treated effluent meets quality standards before discharge. The treated wastewater from COV Milotice is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Morava River basin, a tributary of the Danube. This contributes to the overall water quality management in the Danube River Basin, which supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and is an important water resource for the region.

The plant discharges into the Morava River basin, which flows into the Danube River and eventually the Black Sea. The local watershed supports agricultural and natural habitats, and the treatment plant plays a role in maintaining water quality in this ecologically sensitive area. The region's aquatic life benefits from reduced nutrient loads provided by secondary treatment.
