Direct Polluted Rawa Water to Treatment Plant

Once upon a time there was a little river that wound its way through the scenic countryside in southern Poland. In the course of time however more and more wastewater was discharged into it until the small river turned into an open sewer, posing a considerable threat to the environment. The Rawa flows through the Silesian cities of Świętochłowice, Chorzów and Kattowice before joining the Brynica River. Only ten percent of its water came from the source, a pond, and 90 percent consisted of storm water and wastewater. It was time to act!
