The Mosciszki wastewater treatment plant is located in Mościszki, a village in the gmina of Krzywiń, powiat kościański, województwo wielkopolskie, Poland. This small-scale facility serves a population of 205, reflecting its role in rural wastewater management within the Wielkopolska region. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations with a population equivalent below 2,000. With a designed capacity of 250 m³/day and an actual discharge volume of 29.23 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating sufficient headroom for current demand. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Oder River basin, which flows northward to the Baltic Sea. The plant's operation helps protect the region's surface waters and groundwater from untreated sewage, supporting aquatic ecosystems and downstream water quality in the Oder catchment.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local streams that are part of the Oder River basin, which flows through western Poland and into the Baltic Sea. The Oder basin supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor. The region's agricultural landscape means that nutrient management from wastewater is critical to prevent eutrophication in downstream waters.
