Tomaszow Boleslawiecki Wastewater Treatment Plant, Tomaszów Bolesławiecki, Poland

The Tomaszow Boleslawiecki wastewater treatment plant is located in Tomaszów Bolesławiecki, a village in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship of southwestern Poland. The facility serves a population of 3,074, classifying it as a small agglomeration under Polish and EU regulations. It is situated inland, away from coastal areas. As a secondary treatment plant, it meets the minimum standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. The plant has a designed capacity of 8,085 m³/day and currently discharges 438.30 m³/day of treated wastewater. The plant operates under Poland's implementation of the EU directive. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Oder River basin, which flows northward to the Baltic Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the region's water quality and supporting the ecological health of downstream aquatic environments.

The plant discharges into the Oder River basin, which flows through western Poland and empties into the Baltic Sea. The Oder basin supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor for migratory fish. The region's watershed is influenced by agricultural and industrial activities, making effective wastewater treatment critical for maintaining water quality and ecosystem health.
