Overview
ABRIOLA_CDA_TINTIERA is a closed secondary treatment plant in Abriola, Basilicata, Italy. It served the local community before ceasing operations.
ABRIOLA_CDA_TINTIERA is a former wastewater treatment plant located in Abriola, a town in the province of Potenza, Basilicata, Italy. The plant provided secondary treatment for the local population before its closure. As a secondary treatment facility, it would have met the requirements of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which mandates secondary treatment for agglomerations of this scale. The plant is now closed, and its operational status reflects that it no longer treats wastewater. Abriola lies in the Basilicata region, which drains into the Ionian Sea via rivers such as the Basento and Agri. The closure of this plant may have implications for local water quality, though alternative treatment arrangements may be in place.
Environmental context
Abriola is situated in the Basilicata region of southern Italy, an area characterized by mountainous terrain and rivers that flow into the Ionian Sea. The local watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is part of a broader Mediterranean ecosystem. The closure of this plant could affect downstream water quality if untreated wastewater enters local waterways, though regulatory oversight under Italian and EU law aims to mitigate such impacts.
