Resko Wastewater Treatment Plant | Secondary Treatment in Zachodniopomorskie

The Resko wastewater treatment plant is located in the town of Resko, in the Zachodniopomorskie province of northwestern Poland. The facility serves a small population of 456 residents and is situated near the Rega River, which flows through the town. As a secondary treatment plant, it provides biological treatment to reduce organic pollutants before discharge. Under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), small agglomerations like Resko (under 2,000 population equivalent) are required to provide appropriate treatment, typically secondary treatment. The plant's designed capacity of 6,000 m³/day suggests it can handle additional loads, possibly from seasonal variations or industrial inputs. The current discharge volume is 65.02 m³/day, indicating low utilization relative to capacity. The treated effluent is discharged into the Rega River, which flows northward into the Baltic Sea via the Dziwna Strait. The Rega River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important watercourse in the region. The plant's operation helps protect the river's water quality and the downstream coastal environment of the Baltic Sea.

The Resko plant discharges into the Rega River, which flows through the Pomeranian region and eventually reaches the Baltic Sea via the Dziwna Strait. The Rega River supports a variety of fish species and provides habitat for aquatic invertebrates. The Baltic Sea is a brackish inland sea with sensitive ecosystems, and nutrient inputs from wastewater can contribute to eutrophication. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce organic loads and protect downstream water quality.
