Overview
Klembow wastewater treatment plant serves the town of Klembów in województwo mazowieckie, Poland. It provides secondary treatment for a population of 1,286, discharging 183.36 m³/day of treated effluent.
The Klembow wastewater treatment plant is located in Klembów, a town in the powiat wołomiński of województwo mazowieckie, Poland. It serves a population of approximately 1,286 people, classifying it as a small-scale municipal facility within the region's wastewater infrastructure. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. The facility has a designed capacity of 107.00 m³/day and currently discharges 183.36 m³/day of treated wastewater, indicating operation above its nominal capacity. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Bug River, a major tributary of the Narew River, which flows into the Vistula River and then to the Baltic Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the local watershed from untreated sewage, supporting water quality in the region's river systems.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local streams that feed into the Bug River, a significant waterway in eastern Poland. The Bug River flows into the Narew River, which joins the Vistula River before reaching the Baltic Sea. The surrounding area includes agricultural and natural landscapes, and the plant's secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient and organic loads that could otherwise contribute to eutrophication in downstream water bodies.
