Overview
Oczyszczalnie sciekow w Przyborzycach serves about 14,300 people in the Pomeranian Voivodeship of Poland. The plant discharges treated wastewater into local waterways, supporting the region's environmental health.
Oczyszczalnie sciekow w Przyborzycach is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located near Dąbki in the Pomeranian Voivodeship of Poland. Serving a population of approximately 14,300, the facility is part of the region's infrastructure for managing domestic wastewater from the surrounding communities. As a Polish wastewater treatment plant, it operates under the national regulations that transpose the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). For agglomerations of this size (between 10,000 and 15,000 population equivalent), the directive requires secondary treatment as a minimum standard. The plant's treatment processes are designed to meet these regulatory requirements before discharge. The treated effluent is released into local water bodies that ultimately drain into the Baltic Sea via the Słupia River or other coastal rivers in the region. The Pomeranian Voivodeship features numerous lakes and rivers that are ecologically sensitive, and proper wastewater treatment is essential to protect aquatic life and water quality in the Baltic Sea catchment area.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Słupia River basin, which flows northward into the Baltic Sea near Ustka. This coastal region supports diverse aquatic ecosystems, including migratory fish species and wetland habitats. The Baltic Sea is a semi-enclosed brackish sea sensitive to nutrient pollution, making effective wastewater treatment critical for preventing eutrophication and maintaining water quality.
