Gomunice Wastewater Treatment Plant - Rural Facility in Województwo Łódzkie, Poland

The Gomunice wastewater treatment plant is located in the village of Gomunice, within the gmina of Gomunice in powiat radomszczański, województwo łódzkie, Poland. This facility serves a small population of 1,160 residents, reflecting its role in a rural community. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations with a population equivalent below 10,000. The designed capacity of 5,428 m³/day significantly exceeds the current discharge volume of 165.40 m³/day, indicating ample headroom for future growth or seasonal variations. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Warta River basin, a major tributary of the Oder River, which flows into the Baltic Sea. The plant's operation helps protect the local aquatic environment and downstream ecosystems from nutrient pollution.

The Gomunice plant discharges into small streams within the Warta River basin, which flows into the Oder River and ultimately reaches the Baltic Sea. This inland location supports a network of rivers and wetlands that provide habitat for diverse aquatic species and migratory birds. Proper wastewater treatment is essential to prevent eutrophication and maintain water quality in this sensitive watershed.
