🇵🇱 Miedzuodrze, Poland

The beginnings of Spólka Wodna "Miedzyodrze" date back to the year 1991. At that time an initiative group called by Szczecin-Swinoujscie Port Authority and the Regional Municipal Office in Szczecin was established to put in order water and wastewater management issues on the area of Miedzyodrze district in Szczecin in a complex manner. The group took a decision to establish a company based on water law (in Polish - Spólka Wodna) for this purpose and subsequently elaborated its statutes. Spólka Wodna "Miedzyodrze" obtained legal status on 30th June 1992 by entry in the  Water Register of the Szczecin Province. The conceptual design on putting in order the water and wastewater management issues was elaborated by the Design Office - Spólka Morska "Inmar (Maritime Company)”. The conceptual design defined main investment plans consisting in construction of five local wastewater treatment plants. Successively, construction of a process installation for reception and treatment of oily waters from ships and incineration plant for solid waste generated onboard the ships and on the Port area were planned. Spólka Wodna "Miedzyodrze" started to implement these tasks in 1994. The concept of putting in order the water and wastewater management issues on the area of Miedzyodrze however, was adjusted in the middle nineties, which resulted in construction of one bigger biological wastewater treatment plant called "Ostrów Grabowski". The treatment capacity of the plant was planned for 3.200 m3/day. The overall investment activities of Spólka Wodna were divided into three main stages, which have been completed so far:
STAGE I: construction of a mechanical and biological sewage treatment plant STAGE II: construction of reception and treatment facilities for ship-generated oily wastewaters and waters from washing of ships' holds STAGE III: construction of the sewerage system on the area of Miedzyodrze district in Szczecin.
