Overview
Castelfranco Veneto Loc S Floriano is a closed secondary treatment plant in Castelfranco Veneto, Veneto, Italy. It served the local community before ceasing operations.
Castelfranco Veneto Loc S Floriano is a former wastewater treatment plant located in San Floriano di Campagna, Castelfranco Veneto, in the Veneto region of Italy. The plant provided secondary treatment for municipal wastewater before its closure. As a secondary treatment facility, the plant would have met the standards required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of its scale. The directive mandates secondary treatment for all discharges from agglomerations with a population equivalent above 2,000, and more stringent treatment in sensitive areas. The area drains into the Brenta river basin, which flows into the Adriatic Sea. The closure of this plant means wastewater from the area is now likely treated at other facilities in the region, ensuring continued protection of local water resources.
