BOLZANO_VIA_ZUCCOLA is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Lisiera, a locality within Bolzano Vicentino, in the Veneto region of Italy. The plant serves a population of 2,653 and has a designed capacity of 3,500 cubic meters per day, with an actual discharge volume of 525.20 cubic meters per day. As an advanced treatment facility, it goes beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants, aligning with the requirements of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for sensitive areas. The plant's scale places it in the small agglomeration category, for which the directive mandates appropriate treatment to protect receiving waters. The plant discharges into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Adriatic Sea via the Brenta River or nearby systems. Its advanced treatment helps safeguard the ecological health of the region's rivers and the sensitive coastal environment of the northern Adriatic, which supports diverse aquatic life and is important for tourism and fisheries.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent enters local streams that flow into the Brenta River, which empties into the northern Adriatic Sea near Venice. This coastal area is ecologically sensitive, supporting seagrass meadows, fish nurseries, and migratory bird habitats. Advanced treatment reduces nutrient loading, helping to prevent eutrophication in the Adriatic, a semi-enclosed sea vulnerable to algal blooms.
