COV Paskov Wastewater Treatment Plant, Paskov, Moravskoslezský kraj

COV Paskov is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in the town of Paskov, within the Moravskoslezský kraj region of the Czech Republic. The plant serves a population of approximately 1,117 people, classifying it as a small agglomeration under EU guidelines. 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. Its designed capacity is 2,500 m³/day, with an average daily discharge volume of 266.49 m³/day, indicating ample reserve capacity. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Ostravice River, a tributary of the Odra River, which flows into the Baltic Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the water quality of the Odra basin, supporting aquatic ecosystems and downstream communities.

The plant discharges into the Ostravice River catchment, part of the Odra River basin that flows northward to the Baltic Sea. This region supports diverse aquatic life and is important for migratory fish species. The secondary treatment provided by the plant helps reduce organic pollution and nutrient loads, safeguarding the ecological health of the downstream river network.
