The plant serves a population of approximately 5,092 people and is part of the region's wastewater infrastructure. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment stage required under Czech and EU regulations. With a designed capacity of 6,000 m³/day and an average discharge volume of 966.03 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth or seasonal variations. As a secondary treatment facility, it meets the requirements of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive for agglomerations of this size. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Vltava River basin, which flows northward to join the Elbe River and eventually reaches the North Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the water quality of the surrounding streams and the downstream aquatic environment.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into small streams in the Vltava River basin, which flows through central Bohemia before joining the Elbe River. The Elbe then continues through Germany to the North Sea. The receiving waters support diverse aquatic life and are part of a region with agricultural and urban influences. Secondary treatment helps reduce organic pollution and nutrient loads, protecting downstream ecosystems.
