Miejska oczyszczalnia sciekow Studzieniec Leg - Chodzież Wastewater Treatment Plant

Miejska oczyszczalnia sciekow Studzieniec Leg is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Chodzież, within the wielkopolskie province of Poland. It serves a population of around 18,886 people, classifying it as a medium-sized agglomeration under EU standards. As a Polish facility, the plant operates under national regulations that transpose the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). This directive requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size, with more stringent tertiary treatment if the receiving waters are designated as sensitive areas. The plant's treatment processes and capacity details are not publicly available, but it is expected to meet these regulatory standards. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that ultimately drain into the Baltic Sea via the Warta River and Oder River systems. The plant plays a key role in protecting the region's water quality and supporting the ecological health of downstream environments, including the Noteć River basin and the broader Baltic catchment.

The plant discharges into the local watershed, which is part of the Noteć River basin, a tributary of the Warta River. The Warta flows into the Oder River, which empties into the Baltic Sea. This region supports diverse aquatic life and is important for migratory fish species. The plant's operations help reduce nutrient loading and protect the ecological balance of these downstream waters.
