COV Prostejov Zesov is a wastewater treatment plant located in the Žešov district of Prostějov, in the Olomoucký kraj region of the Czech Republic. The plant provided secondary treatment for the local population, aligning with the requirements of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive for medium-sized agglomerations. As a secondary treatment facility, it employed biological processes to reduce organic matter and suspended solids.
