Overview
COV Rojkov is a secondary treatment plant serving Hubová, Slovakia. It treats wastewater for 171 people with a designed capacity of 4,103 m³/day.
COV Rojkov is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Hubová, a village in the Ružomberok district of Žilinský kraj, Slovakia. The plant serves a small population of 171 residents, reflecting its role in a rural community within the central Slovak region. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment level required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 4,103 m³/day, the facility has significant headroom for future growth or seasonal variations. The plant operates under Slovak national regulations that transpose EU directives, ensuring compliance with effluent quality standards. The treated effluent is discharged into a local watercourse, ultimately contributing to the Váh River basin, which flows into the Danube River and then the Black Sea. This downstream connection highlights the plant's role in protecting the broader aquatic ecosystem, including the Danube Delta, a region of high ecological importance.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into a tributary of the Váh River, which is part of the Danube River basin. The Váh flows southwest through Slovakia, joining the Danube near Komárno. The Danube then empties into the Black Sea via the Danube Delta, a vast wetland that supports diverse aquatic life and serves as a critical migratory corridor for birds. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient and organic pollution, safeguarding downstream water quality in this ecologically sensitive region.
