Kadzidlo Wastewater Treatment Plant, Kadzidło, Poland

The Kadzidlo wastewater treatment plant is located in Kadzidło, a town in the Masovian Voivodeship of Poland. It serves a small population of 768 residents, reflecting its role in a rural community. The plant is part of Poland's municipal wastewater infrastructure, which operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the minimum standard required by the EU directive for agglomerations of this size. Its designed capacity is 7590 m³/day, with an actual discharge volume of 109.51 m³/day, indicating significant reserve capacity. Secondary treatment typically involves biological processes to reduce organic matter and suspended solids. The treated effluent is discharged into a local water body, likely a small river or stream within the Narew River basin. The Narew River flows into the Vistula River, which ultimately drains into the Baltic Sea. The plant's location inland and away from the coast reduces direct marine impact, but its discharge contributes to the overall water quality in the regional watershed.

The Kadzidlo plant discharges into a local watercourse within the Narew River basin. The Narew River is a major tributary of the Vistula River, which flows into the Baltic Sea. The surrounding area is characterized by agricultural land and small forests, making the protection of local water quality important for both ecological health and human use. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient loads, supporting the ecological balance of downstream waters.
