Case Rosse Capannacce Wastewater Treatment Plant, Roma, Italy

Case Rosse Capannacce is a wastewater treatment plant located in the Case Rosse district of Roma, in the Lazio region of Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 6,000 residents, classifying it as a small agglomeration under EU regulations. It is situated in the urban periphery of Rome, near the Complanare TPU road. As a small-scale facility, the plant is expected to provide secondary treatment or equivalent under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which applies to all agglomerations above 2,000 population equivalent. The plant is part of Rome's broader wastewater infrastructure managed by municipal authorities. The treated effluent is discharged into the Tiber River basin, which flows through Rome and into the Tyrrhenian Sea. The Tiber River is a major watercourse in central Italy, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for agriculture and industry. The plant's operation helps protect the river's water quality and the downstream coastal environment.

The plant discharges into the Tiber River basin, which flows through Rome and empties into the Tyrrhenian Sea. The Tiber River supports a variety of fish species and is an important ecological corridor in central Italy. Downstream, the Tiber delta and coastal areas host migratory birds and marine habitats. Protecting water quality in this watershed is critical for both freshwater and marine ecosystems.
