Overview
LGOTA WIELKA typ SUPERBOS 500 is a secondary wastewater treatment plant in Lgota Wielka, Poland, serving approximately 3,868 people. It operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive.
LGOTA WIELKA typ SUPERBOS 500 is a wastewater treatment plant located in Lgota Wielka, a village in the Łódź Voivodeship of central Poland. The plant serves a population of around 3,868, classifying it as a small agglomeration under EU standards. It is situated inland, away from coastal areas, and is part of Poland's municipal wastewater infrastructure. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the minimum required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for freshwater discharges from agglomerations of this size. The designed capacity is 2,760 m³/day, with a current discharge volume of 551.52 m³/day, indicating operational headroom. As a Polish facility, it is subject to national water law and environmental permits issued by the Regional Water Management Board (RZGW). The treated effluent is discharged into a local watercourse that ultimately drains into the Warta River basin, a major tributary of the Oder River. The Oder flows into the Baltic Sea, making the plant part of a transboundary river system. Proper treatment helps protect downstream aquatic ecosystems and supports water quality in the Baltic Sea catchment.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into a local stream that feeds into the Warta River, a key tributary of the Oder River. The Oder basin supports diverse freshwater habitats and is an important migratory corridor for fish species. The Baltic Sea, as the final receiving water body, is sensitive to nutrient pollution, making effective secondary treatment crucial for reducing eutrophication risks.
