Overview
Malkinia Gorna wastewater treatment plant in Jartypory, Poland, serves 773 people with secondary treatment. It discharges 110.22 m³/day and operates under EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive standards.
Malkinia Gorna is a wastewater treatment plant located in Jartypory, within the gmina Liw, powiat węgrowski, województwo mazowieckie, Poland. It serves a small population of 773 people, reflecting its role in a rural or small community setting. The plant is part of Poland's municipal wastewater infrastructure, which is regulated under national laws aligned with EU directives. The plant provides secondary treatment, a standard biological process that removes organic matter and suspended solids. While the designed capacity is 11,100 m³/day, the actual discharge volume is 110.22 m³/day, indicating operation well below capacity. This suggests the plant is sized for future growth or seasonal peaks. As a Polish facility, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this scale. The treated effluent is discharged into local surface waters, likely a small river or stream within the Bug River basin, which ultimately drains into the Narew River and then the Vistula River before reaching the Baltic Sea. The plant's operation helps protect downstream water quality and aquatic ecosystems in this region of central Poland.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local waterways that are part of the Bug River basin, a tributary of the Narew River, which flows into the Vistula River and eventually the Baltic Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in central Poland. Secondary treatment reduces organic pollution, helping to maintain water quality in downstream rivers and the sensitive Baltic Sea ecosystem.
