Overview
Casale di Scodosia Via Veneto Z A is a secondary treatment plant serving 1,861 people in Veneto, Italy. It discharges 368.41 cubic meters per day of treated wastewater.
Casale di Scodosia Via Veneto Z A is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Casale di Scodosia, a town in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 1,861 residents, classifying it as a small agglomeration under Italian and EU regulations. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the minimum standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for freshwater discharges from agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 2,000 cubic meters per day and a current discharge volume of 368.41 cubic meters per day, the facility operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth or seasonal variability. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Adriatic Sea via the Po River basin. The plant plays a key role in protecting the region's surface waters from nutrient pollution and supporting the ecological health of the downstream aquatic environment.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Po River basin, which flows eastward through northern Italy and empties into the Adriatic Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is an important agricultural and ecological corridor. The secondary treatment provided helps reduce organic load and nutrient inputs, mitigating eutrophication risks in the Adriatic coastal zone.
