Przedmiescie Wastewater Treatment Plant, Grybów, Poland

Przedmiescie is a wastewater treatment plant located in the Górki area of Grybów, in the małopolskie province of Poland. The facility serves a small population of 457 residents, reflecting its role in a rural or small-town setting within the Nowy Sącz county. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment stage required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. The plant has a designed capacity of 417 m³/day and currently discharges 65.16 m³/day of treated wastewater, indicating it operates well below its capacity. The treated effluent is discharged into a local water body, likely a small stream or river within the Dunajec River basin, which ultimately flows into the Vistula River and then to the Baltic Sea. The plant's operation helps protect the local aquatic environment and downstream ecosystems from untreated sewage.

The plant discharges into a local watercourse that is part of the Dunajec River basin, a tributary of the Vistula River. The Vistula flows northward through Poland and empties into the Baltic Sea near Gdańsk. The surrounding region is characterized by the Carpathian foothills, with sensitive aquatic habitats that support diverse fish populations and migratory bird species. Proper wastewater treatment is essential to prevent nutrient pollution and maintain water quality in this ecologically important watershed.
