Overview
Kupiskio aglomeracija wastewater treatment plant serves Svideniai, Lithuania, treating wastewater for approximately 1,450 people in the Panevėžio apskritis region.
Kupiskio aglomeracija is a wastewater treatment plant located in Svideniai, a settlement in the Kupiškis district of Panevėžio apskritis, Lithuania. The plant serves a population of around 1,450 people, placing it in the small agglomeration category under EU regulations. As a small-scale facility in Lithuania, the plant is subject to the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The directive aims to protect water quality across the European Union, and Lithuanian plants must comply with national implementation standards. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into a local watercourse that flows into the Lėvuo River, a tributary of the Mūša River, which eventually reaches the Baltic Sea via the Nemunas River basin. This connection highlights the plant's role in safeguarding downstream aquatic ecosystems and the broader Baltic Sea environment.
Environmental context
The plant's treated wastewater likely enters a local stream that feeds into the Lėvuo River, a tributary of the Mūša River within the Nemunas River basin. The Nemunas basin drains into the Curonian Lagoon and ultimately the Baltic Sea, a sensitive marine environment. The region supports diverse aquatic life, including fish species such as pike and perch, and the plant's operation helps maintain water quality in this ecologically important watershed.
