Oczyszczalnia Sciekow w Nowym Zmigrodzie - Mytarka, Poland Wastewater Treatment Plant

Oczyszczalnia Sciekow w Nowym Zmigrodzie is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Mytarka, within the gmina Nowy Zmigrod in the Podkarpackie Voivodeship of southeastern Poland. The plant serves a population of approximately 2,360, classifying it as a small agglomeration under Polish and EU regulations. The facility provides secondary treatment, which is the minimum standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. The plant has a designed capacity of 4,000 cubic meters per day and reports a discharge volume of 336.5 cubic meters, indicating operational capacity well below its design limit. Treated effluent from the plant is discharged into local streams that ultimately drain into the Wisla River basin, which flows northward to the Baltic Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting local water quality in the Jaslo region, supporting aquatic ecosystems and downstream communities.

The plant discharges into small watercourses within the Wisla River catchment, which flows through southern and central Poland before reaching the Baltic Sea via the Gdansk Bay. The local watershed supports diverse freshwater habitats and is part of a region with agricultural and forested landscapes. Protecting water quality here helps maintain ecological balance in the Wisla basin, which is vital for fisheries and biodiversity.
