CASIER_DOSSON_VIA_BIGONZO is a wastewater treatment plant located at Via al Bigonzo in La Sicilia, Casier, within the Veneto region of Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 8,150 people, classifying it as a small to medium agglomeration under European Union regulations. As an Italian facility, the plant operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations with a population equivalent between 2,000 and 10,000. The directive also mandates appropriate collection systems and discharge standards to protect receiving water bodies. The plant's designed capacity is 1.00 (likely in thousands of cubic meters per day or similar units), indicating its scale. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Adriatic Sea via the Venetian Lagoon or nearby rivers. The region's water bodies support diverse aquatic life and are important for both ecological balance and human activities such as fishing and tourism. Proper treatment helps mitigate nutrient loading and protect downstream ecosystems.
Environmental context
The plant's discharge enters the local hydrographic network in the Veneto plain, which flows into the Venetian Lagoon and ultimately the Adriatic Sea. This coastal environment is ecologically sensitive, supporting diverse marine and brackish-water species. Nutrient and pollutant loads from wastewater must be carefully managed to prevent eutrophication and maintain water quality in the lagoon and coastal zones.
