COV Chynorany Wastewater Treatment Plant, Chynorany, Slovakia

COV Chynorany is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Chynorany, a town in the Trenčiansky kraj region of western Slovakia. The plant serves a population of approximately 1,248 residents and has a designed capacity of 1,250 cubic meters per day, with a current discharge volume of 255.41 cubic meters per day. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond the secondary treatment requirements typically mandated for small agglomerations under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). This level of treatment ensures high-quality effluent suitable for discharge into sensitive environments. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Váh River basin, a major tributary of the Danube River. The Váh River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in the region. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect downstream water quality and the broader Danube ecosystem.

The plant discharges into the Váh River basin, which flows into the Danube River and ultimately the Black Sea. The Váh River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important migratory corridor for fish species. Advanced treatment at this plant helps maintain water quality in this ecologically sensitive watershed.
