Overview
COV Trebic Budikovice is a closed secondary treatment plant in Třebíč, Czech Republic. It served the local population under EU wastewater regulations.
COV Trebic Budikovice is a wastewater treatment plant located in the Budíkovice area of Třebíč, in the Kraj Vysočina region of the Czech Republic. The plant is now closed and no longer operational, having provided secondary treatment for municipal wastewater. As a secondary treatment facility, the plant would have met the requirements of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which mandates secondary biological treatment for agglomerations of this scale. The Czech Republic implements this directive through national legislation, ensuring that treated effluent meets quality standards before discharge. The plant's treated effluent would have been discharged into a local watercourse, ultimately draining into the Jihlava River, a tributary of the Dyje River, which flows into the Morava River and then the Danube River basin. This contributes to the Black Sea catchment area, supporting aquatic ecosystems along the way.
Environmental context
The plant is located inland in the Jihlava River basin, part of the Danube River system that drains into the Black Sea. The surrounding region features agricultural and forested areas, with the Jihlava River supporting diverse aquatic life. Downstream, the river flows through the Dyje and Morava rivers, which are ecologically important for fish migration and wetland habitats.
