Chocicza Wastewater Treatment Plant, Chocicza, Poland | Secondary Treatment

Chocicza is a wastewater treatment plant located in the village of Chocicza, within the gmina Nowe Miasto nad Wartą, powiat średzki, województwo wielkopolskie, Poland. The plant serves a population of 726 and operates with secondary treatment, which is the standard level required under Polish and EU regulations for small agglomerations. The plant has a designed capacity of 4300 m³/day and currently discharges 103.52 m³/day of treated wastewater. As a secondary treatment facility, it meets the requirements of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for biological treatment of organic matter. The plant's discharge volume is well within its capacity, indicating efficient operation. The treated effluent is likely discharged into a local watercourse that drains into the Warta River basin, part of the Oder River system, which ultimately flows into the Baltic Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting local water quality and the downstream aquatic environment in the Wielkopolska region.

The plant discharges into a local watercourse within the Warta River basin, a major tributary of the Oder River. The Oder flows into the Szczecin Lagoon and then the Baltic Sea. The region supports diverse aquatic life and is important for migratory fish species. Proper treatment helps prevent nutrient pollution and eutrophication in downstream waters.
