Overview
CISON DI VALMARINO CAPOLUOGO is a closed secondary treatment plant in Cison di Valmarino, Veneto, Italy. It served the local community before ceasing operations.
CISON DI VALMARINO CAPOLUOGO is a wastewater treatment plant located in the town of Cison di Valmarino, in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy. The plant was designed to serve the local population as part of the municipal wastewater infrastructure in the province of Treviso. It is now closed and no longer in operation. The plant provided secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment stage required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this scale. Secondary treatment typically involves biological processes to reduce organic matter and suspended solids, ensuring compliance with European environmental standards for discharge into inland waters. The treated effluent from this plant would have been discharged into local watercourses that drain into the Piave River basin, eventually reaching the Adriatic Sea. The Veneto region is characterized by a network of rivers and canals that support diverse aquatic ecosystems and agricultural activities. Possibly to a larger regional facility.
Environmental context
The plant is located inland in the Veneto region, within the catchment of the Piave River, which flows into the Adriatic Sea. The Piave River supports a variety of aquatic life and is important for irrigation and recreation. The surrounding area is a mix of agricultural land and small settlements, with the river contributing to the ecological health of the Venice Lagoon downstream.
