Pakoslaw Wastewater Treatment Plant - Góry Pakosławskie, Poland

Pakoslaw wastewater treatment plant is located in Góry Pakosławskie, a village in the gmina Pakosław, powiat rawicki, województwo wielkopolskie, Poland. The plant serves a population of 1,626 and provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (UWWTD) for agglomerations of this size. The plant has a designed capacity of 4,438 cubic meters per day and a current discharge volume of 231.84 cubic meters per day. As a Polish facility, it operates under national regulations that transpose the EU UWWTD, ensuring that treated wastewater meets quality standards before discharge. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that drain into the Warta River basin, part of the larger Oder River system, which flows into the Baltic Sea. This regional drainage network supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and agricultural water use in the Wielkopolska region.

The treated wastewater from Pakoslaw plant enters local streams that feed into the Warta River, a major tributary of the Oder River. The Oder River ultimately flows into the Baltic Sea, a sensitive marine environment. The local watershed supports agricultural activities and provides habitat for freshwater species. Proper treatment is essential to prevent nutrient enrichment and protect downstream water quality in the Baltic Sea catchment.
