Overview
Laskowa wastewater treatment plant in Kostomłoty Drugie, Poland, serves 1,796 people with advanced treatment. It discharges 256.08 m³/day and has a designed capacity of 12,000 m³/day.
The Laskowa wastewater treatment plant is located in the village of Laskowa, within the Kostomłoty Drugie area of gmina Miedziana Góra, in the świętokrzyskie voivodeship of Poland. This facility serves a population of 1,796 and is part of the municipal wastewater infrastructure for the region. The plant provides advanced treatment, which goes beyond the secondary treatment required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 12,000 m³/day and a current discharge volume of 256.08 m³/day, the plant has significant spare capacity to accommodate future growth or seasonal variations. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Vistula River basin, which flows northward into the Baltic Sea. The advanced treatment helps protect the downstream aquatic environment, including the sensitive ecosystems of the Vistula delta and the Baltic Sea coastal zone.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local streams that are part of the Vistula River basin, Poland's largest river system. The Vistula flows through central Poland and empties into the Baltic Sea via the Gdańsk Bay. The advanced treatment level ensures that nutrient loads are reduced, helping to mitigate eutrophication in the Baltic Sea, a sensitive marine environment that suffers from excessive nitrogen and phosphorus inputs.
