Oczyszczalnia Sciekow w Skokach - Secondary Wastewater Treatment Plant in Skoki, Poland

Oczyszczalnia Sciekow w Skokach is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Skoki, a town in the Greater Poland Voivodeship of Poland. The plant serves a population of approximately 6,252 residents, classifying it as a small to medium 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 4,200 m³/day and discharges an average volume of 891.44 m³/day, indicating it operates well below its design capacity. The treated effluent is discharged into a local watercourse, which ultimately drains into the Warta River basin and then into the Oder River, flowing into the Baltic Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the local aquatic environment and downstream ecosystems from nutrient pollution.

The plant discharges into a local watercourse that is part of the Warta River basin, a major tributary of the Oder River. The Oder flows into the Szczecin Lagoon and then the Baltic Sea. The region's waters are sensitive to nutrient enrichment, and the plant's secondary treatment helps reduce organic load and nutrients, supporting the ecological health of downstream rivers and the Baltic Sea.
