Overview
Wielka Wies wastewater treatment plant serves 1,922 people in Wielka Wieś, Poland. It provides primary treatment and discharges 274.05 m³/day of treated wastewater.
The Wielka Wies wastewater treatment plant is located in Wielka Wieś, a village in the Greater Poland Voivodeship of western Poland. The facility serves a population of 1,922 and has a designed capacity of 8,550 m³/day, currently discharging 274.05 m³/day of treated effluent. As a primary treatment plant, Wielka Wies provides physical sedimentation and screening to remove solids. Under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), agglomerations with a population equivalent (PE) between 2,000 and 10,000 are typically required to achieve secondary treatment or equivalent. The plant's current primary level may be an interim stage or subject to specific local conditions. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that drain into the Warta River basin, a major tributary of the Oder River. The Oder flows into the Baltic Sea via the Szczecin Lagoon. The plant's operations contribute to protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems, including the Oder estuary and Baltic coastal waters, from nutrient and organic pollution.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local streams that flow into the Warta River, a key tributary of the Oder River. The Oder River system supports diverse aquatic life and is an important migratory corridor for fish. The final receiving waters are the Szczecin Lagoon and the Baltic Sea, which are sensitive to eutrophication from nutrient inputs. Proper treatment at Wielka Wies helps reduce the nutrient load reaching these downstream environments.
