Overview
Brojce wastewater treatment plant serves Wojtaszyce in zachodniopomorskie, Poland, providing secondary treatment for a population of 508. The plant discharges 72.43 m³/day with a designed capacity of 33.00 m³/day.
The Brojce wastewater treatment plant is located in Wojtaszyce, a village in the gmina Dobra, powiat łobeski, within the zachodniopomorskie voivodeship of northwestern Poland. It serves a small population of 508 residents, reflecting its role in rural wastewater management. The plant operates at the secondary treatment level, which is the standard required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations with a population equivalent below 2,000. The plant's designed capacity is 33.00 m³/day, and it currently discharges 72.43 m³/day, indicating it handles a volume above its nominal capacity. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Baltic Sea via the Rega River basin. The region's water bodies support diverse aquatic life and are part of the broader coastal ecosystem of the southern Baltic, where nutrient reduction is a key environmental priority.
Environmental context
The plant's discharge enters the local drainage network, which flows into the Rega River and eventually reaches the Baltic Sea. The Baltic Sea is a semi-enclosed brackish sea sensitive to nutrient pollution, where secondary treatment helps reduce organic load but may not fully address nitrogen and phosphorus. The surrounding area includes agricultural land and small watercourses that support local biodiversity.
