Bojanowo Wastewater Treatment Plant, Komorówko, Poland

The Bojanowo wastewater treatment plant is located in Komorówko, within the gmina Trzebnica in województwo dolnośląskie, Poland. It serves a population of around 7,147 people, classifying it as a small to medium agglomeration under Polish and EU regulations. The plant is situated inland, away from coastal areas, and its operations are part of the regional water management infrastructure. As a Polish facility, the plant operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The directive also mandates more advanced treatment if the receiving waters are sensitive to eutrophication. The plant's treatment processes are designed to meet these standards, ensuring compliance with national and EU environmental regulations. The treated effluent from the plant is discharged into local water bodies that ultimately drain into the Oder River basin, which flows into the Baltic Sea. This connection highlights the plant's role in protecting downstream ecosystems, including the Baltic Sea, from nutrient pollution and other contaminants. Proper treatment helps maintain water quality in the region's rivers and supports aquatic biodiversity.

The Bojanowo plant discharges into local streams that are part of the Oder River basin, which flows northward into the Baltic Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is ecologically sensitive to nutrient loading. The plant's treatment helps reduce the risk of eutrophication in downstream waters, contributing to the health of the Baltic Sea ecosystem.
