BEVAGNA_CAPRO is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in the Capro area of Bevagna, in the Umbria region of central Italy. The facility serves a population of approximately 2,705 residents and is part of the municipal wastewater infrastructure for the town of Bevagna, situated in the province of Perugia. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. With a designed capacity of 4,700 cubic meters per day and a current discharge volume of 535.49 cubic meters per day, the plant operates well within its capacity. Under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), plants serving agglomerations of this size are required to provide secondary treatment, and the advanced level here exceeds that standard, likely due to the sensitivity of the receiving environment. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Tiber River basin, which flows through Umbria and Lazio before reaching the Tyrrhenian Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the water quality of the Tiber watershed and downstream ecosystems, including the coastal waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
