Analiza kosztów nieużytkowania lub organiczenia wielkości poboru wody z zakładu uzdatniania wody Goczałkowice

Regional Upper Silesia Waterworks (GPW S.A.) are the biggest water supply system in Poland with 11 water treatment plants and 3 million of consumers. However this system is gradually disassembled. Local water and sewage utilities develop separate water intakes or import water from Czechia with using of GPW S.A. system only as reserve source. It is effect of increasing unit costs of water delivered by GPW S.A. These costs are partly associated with maintenance of flood control reservoirs and additional taxes. Water treatment plant Goczalkowice is main, most modern and cheaper water producer in GPW S.A. system. Thus full resignation of water intake from this source is unlikely. However limitation of water intake by Goczalkowice plant could reduce competitiveness of this WTP by increase of average fixed costs. Limitation of production by other water treatment plants should be more rational. Additionally in result of gravity flow intake of water by Goczalkowice plant from Sola river is more profitable than intake from other sources.
