nie dotyczy Wastewater Treatment Plant, Józefów Stary, Poland

The wastewater treatment plant in Józefów Stary, located in the Łódź Voivodeship of central Poland, is a closed facility that previously provided secondary treatment for the local population. The plant was situated in the Papiernia area of the village, within the Gmina Przedbórz administrative district. As a secondary treatment plant, it would have met the requirements of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which mandates secondary biological treatment for agglomerations of this scale. The plant's designed capacity of 2,580 m³/day indicates it served a small to medium-sized community, typical for rural areas in Poland. The plant's closure means that wastewater from Józefów Stary is now likely handled by a neighboring facility. The area drains into the Pilica River basin, which flows northward to the Vistula River and ultimately to the Baltic Sea. The plant's operation would have protected local water quality in this important river system.

The plant is located in the Pilica River catchment, a tributary of the Vistula River, which drains into the Baltic Sea. The Pilica River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in central Poland. The closed plant's secondary treatment would have helped maintain water quality in this watershed, reducing nutrient loads that could otherwise contribute to eutrophication in the Baltic Sea.
