Overview
Gebice wastewater treatment plant in Gębice, Poland, serves a small population of 912 with secondary treatment. It discharges 130.04 cubic meters of treated wastewater daily, operating under EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive standards.
The Gebice wastewater treatment plant is located in Gębice, a village in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship of Poland. It serves a small population of 912 people, reflecting its role in a rural community. The plant is part of Poland's municipal wastewater infrastructure, which is regulated under national and European Union frameworks. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the minimum standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for discharges into freshwater. With a designed capacity of 2,480 cubic meters per day, the plant operates well below its capacity, treating an average of 130.04 cubic meters daily. This suggests the facility is sized for future growth or seasonal peaks. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Baltic Sea via the Vistula River basin. The plant's operation helps protect the region's surface waters from nutrient pollution, supporting aquatic ecosystems and downstream water quality in the Baltic Sea catchment area.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local streams that flow into the Noteć River, a tributary of the Warta River, which ultimately reaches the Oder River and the Baltic Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is part of a larger network of rivers in the Vistula-Oder basin. The Baltic Sea is sensitive to nutrient inputs, making effective wastewater treatment critical for reducing eutrophication risks.
