The Wola Rozwienicka wastewater treatment plant is located in the village of Wola Roźwienicka, within the Podkarpackie Voivodeship of southeastern Poland. This facility serves a population of 2,777, classifying it as a small agglomeration under Polish and EU regulations. As a secondary treatment plant, it meets the minimum requirements of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for inland communities of this size. The plant has a designed capacity of 6,430 m³/day and currently discharges approximately 396 m³/day of treated effluent, indicating significant reserve capacity. The treated wastewater is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the San River, a major tributary of the Vistula River, which flows into the Baltic Sea. The plant plays a vital role in protecting the region's surface water quality and supporting the ecological health of the downstream aquatic environment.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local streams that feed the San River, a key tributary of the Vistula River basin. The Vistula flows into the Baltic Sea, making this plant part of a large international watershed. The region supports diverse freshwater habitats and migratory fish species, so effective secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient loading and protects downstream ecosystems from eutrophication.
