In 2016, Poland had 1533 urban waste water agglomerations of more then 2 000 population equivalent (p.e). These agglomerations generated a total load of 38 542 418 p.e. 94% of this load is connected to collecting systems and 6% addressed through Individual and Appropriate Systems (storage or septic tanks, micro-stations,...). These agglomerations are connected to 56 primary treatment plant, 1036 secondary treatment plants and 600 more stringent treatment plants. All these treatment plants have a total design capacity of 52 608 507 p.e.
