COV Zruc II Wastewater Treatment Plant, Zruč nad Sázavou, Czech Republic

COV Zruc II is a wastewater treatment plant located in Zruč nad Sázavou, in the Středočeský kraj region of the Czech Republic. The plant provided secondary treatment for municipal wastewater from the town and surrounding area before its closure. As a secondary treatment facility, COV Zruc II 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 plant's operational status is now closed, indicating it is no longer in service. The plant's receiving water body is likely the Ostrovský potok, a small stream that flows through the region. This watercourse eventually drains into the Sázava River, a tributary of the Vltava, which flows into the Elbe and ultimately to the North Sea. The plant's operation helped protect local water quality in this inland watershed.

The plant discharged into Ostrovský potok, a tributary of the Sázava River. The Sázava flows into the Vltava, which joins the Elbe before reaching the North Sea. This inland watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional water quality. The plant's secondary treatment would have reduced organic pollutants and suspended solids, protecting downstream ecosystems.
