Gloskow Wastewater Treatment Plant, Bąkówka, Masovian Voivodeship, Poland

Gloskow is a wastewater treatment plant located in Bąkówka, within the Piaseczno district of the Masovian Voivodeship in Poland. The facility serves a population of 725 and is part of the municipal infrastructure for the region. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond the secondary treatment standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 4100 m³/day and an actual discharge volume of 103.37 m³/day, the plant has significant reserve capacity. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Vistula River basin, which flows northward into the Baltic Sea. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect downstream aquatic ecosystems and supports water quality in the region.

The plant discharges into the Vistula River basin, which flows through central Poland and empties into the Baltic Sea via the Gdańsk Bay. The Vistula is a major European river supporting diverse fish species and migratory birds. Advanced treatment at this plant reduces nutrient loads, helping to mitigate eutrophication in the Baltic Sea.
