Wojcieszkow Wastewater Treatment Plant, Wojcieszków, Poland

The Wojcieszkow wastewater treatment plant is located in the village of Wojcieszków, within the gmina Wojcieszków in powiat łukowski, województwo lubelskie, Poland. It serves a small population of 671 residents, reflecting its role as a local municipal facility in a rural area. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations with a population equivalent (PE) between 2,000 and 10,000. Although the population served here is below that threshold, the plant's design capacity of 3035 m³/day suggests it is built to accommodate future growth or seasonal loads. The current discharge volume is 95.67 m³/day, indicating low utilization relative to capacity. The treated effluent is discharged into local surface waters, likely a small stream or river within the Wieprz River basin, which flows into the Vistula River and eventually to the Baltic Sea. The plant's operation helps protect the local aquatic environment from untreated sewage, supporting water quality in the region's sensitive river ecosystems.

The plant discharges into a local watercourse within the Wieprz River basin, a tributary of the Vistula River. The Vistula flows northward into the Baltic Sea, making the plant part of a larger catchment that supports diverse aquatic life and migratory fish species. The surrounding area is predominantly agricultural, so nutrient removal from wastewater is important to prevent eutrophication in downstream waters.
