Oczyszczalnia Sciekow Drawski Mlyn - Drawski Młyn Wastewater Treatment Plant, Poland

Oczyszczalnia Sciekow Drawski Mlyn is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Drawski Młyn, within the Wielkopolskie Voivodeship of Poland. The facility serves a small population of 983 residents, reflecting its role in a rural community. The plant is situated inland, away from coastal areas, and operates under Polish environmental regulations. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment stage required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. The designed capacity is 6038.00 m³/day, indicating that the current discharge volume of 140.16 m³/day represents a low utilization rate. Secondary treatment typically involves biological oxidation and settling to reduce organic pollutants. The treated effluent is discharged into a local watercourse, which eventually drains into the Warta River basin, a major tributary of the Oder River. The Oder flows into the Baltic Sea, making the plant part of a larger transboundary watershed. The surrounding area is characterized by forests and agricultural land, and the plant helps protect local water quality and downstream ecosystems.

The plant discharges into a local stream that feeds into the Warta River basin, part of the Oder River catchment. The Oder flows northward to the Baltic Sea, making this plant part of a significant transboundary watershed. The region supports diverse aquatic life and is important for migratory fish species. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient loads, protecting downstream water bodies from eutrophication.
