Overview
KLECKO wastewater treatment plant in Czerlejnko, Poland, serves 1,743 people with secondary treatment. It discharges 248.52 m³/day and has a designed capacity of 1,551.00 m³/day.
The KLECKO wastewater treatment plant is located in Czerlejnko, within the wielkopolskie province of Poland. It serves a population of 1,743, classifying it as a small agglomeration under Polish and EU regulations. The plant is situated inland, away from coastal areas, and its operations are part of the regional wastewater infrastructure managed by local authorities. As a secondary treatment facility, KLECKO meets the minimum treatment standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of its size. The plant has a designed capacity of 1,551.00 m³/day and currently treats an average daily flow of 248.52 m³/day, indicating significant spare capacity. Secondary treatment typically involves biological processes to reduce organic matter and suspended solids. The treated effluent is discharged into a local water body, which ultimately drains into the Warta River basin, a major tributary of the Oder River. The Oder flows into the Baltic Sea, making the plant's operations relevant to the ecological health of the Baltic Sea catchment. Proper treatment helps protect downstream aquatic ecosystems and supports water quality in the region.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into a local watercourse that feeds into the Warta River, a key tributary of the Oder River. The Oder flows northward into the Baltic Sea, a semi-enclosed sea sensitive to nutrient pollution. The region's watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for migratory fish species. Effective wastewater treatment at KLECKO helps reduce nutrient loads and organic pollution, contributing to the ecological balance of the Baltic Sea basin.
