Wroclaw sewage farms are located to the north of the city. They were split into by the Wroclaw Ringroad, a section of the overpass which starts behind the Rędziński Bridge and leads to the Wroclaw Północ junction. Some drivers may still remember the bad smell which hovered around the area just after the ring road's opening. However, the launch of a sewage treatment plant in Janówek has significantly reduced the amount of sewage relaesed into the farms.
"We are now facing a different challenge. Our modern sewage treatment plant makes sewage farms redundant. Without irrigation, the area would turn into steppe, which puts the existing ecosystem at risk. We had to find a solution," explains MPWiK Wroclaw President Zdzisław Olejczyk. He adds that Berlin faced a similar challenge in the past. "They decided they would stop irrigating a similar area like ours. And it soon turned into desert. The regeneration process is extremely expensive. We want to avoid this," says President Olejczyk.
Several scenarios as how to irrigate the farm were taken into account, e.g. with rain water from Wroclaw or with water from the River Oder. Research has shown that two small streams, Trzcianka and Mokrzyca, can be used for the purpose. 
When the sewage farm served as a natural treatment plant, these two streams carried treated sewage into the River Oder. "The water table in the area is going to rise as soon as we bank up the two streams," say MPWiK Wroclaw employees. The bad smell is going to disappear as a result.
"We've got good news for the local residents. The permit to release sewage in the area expires at the end of 2015. We've made a decision not to apply for a new one or for an extension. In practice, this means no new sewage in the area," informs Vice Mayor Wojciech Adamski. Over one hundred years of the sewage farm's history come to an end.
The recent spatial development plan defines the farm as a green area. For the time being, it is quite dangerous to have a walk in the area due to a number of sewage channels and ditches of varying depths, some of them covered with a thick layer of slime at the bottom. Falling into one may result in drowning.
