Ludwin Wastewater Treatment Plant, Lublin Voivodeship, Poland

The Ludwin wastewater treatment plant is located in Ludwin, a village in the Lublin Voivodeship of eastern Poland. It serves a small population of 1,113 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, a standard requirement under the EU directive for agglomerations of this size. Secondary treatment typically involves biological processes to reduce organic matter and suspended solids. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Vistula River basin, which flows northward to the Baltic Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting local water quality and supporting the ecological health of the region's rivers and streams.

The plant discharges into local waterways that are part of the Vistula River basin, which ultimately drains into the Baltic Sea.
