Oczyszczalnia sciekow w Slupcy is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Czeszewo, within the Wielkopolskie region of Poland. It serves a population of approximately 10,564 people, placing it in the medium agglomeration category under EU classification. Under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), plants serving between 2,000 and 15,000 population equivalents are required to provide secondary treatment. This plant meets that regulatory standard, ensuring effective biological treatment before discharge. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Warta River basin, a major tributary of the Oder River. This contributes to the protection of the Baltic Sea catchment area, supporting aquatic ecosystems downstream.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Warta River basin, which flows into the Oder River and eventually reaches the Baltic Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in western Poland. The region's agricultural landscape means nutrient removal is critical to prevent eutrophication in downstream waters.
