Trzebiechow Wastewater Treatment Plant, Trzebiechów, Poland

The Trzebiechow wastewater treatment plant is located in Trzebiechów, in the lubuskie voivodeship of western Poland. It serves a small population of 1,292 residents, reflecting its role as a local municipal facility for this rural community. As a secondary treatment plant, it meets the minimum standard required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. The plant has a designed capacity of 4,891 m³/day, with an actual discharge volume of 184.22 m³/day, indicating ample reserve capacity for future growth. The treated wastewater is discharged into local surface waters, which eventually drain into the Oder River basin and ultimately the Baltic Sea. The plant helps protect downstream ecosystems by reducing organic load and nutrients in the receiving water body.

The plant discharges into local streams that are part of the Oder River basin, which flows northward into the Baltic Sea. The region's watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for maintaining water quality in the Oder estuary. Effective nutrient removal at this plant helps mitigate eutrophication risks in the Baltic Sea.
