CITTA DELLA PIEVE LAGUNA AREATA LA TROVA Wastewater Treatment Plant, Canale, Umbria

CITTA DELLA PIEVE LAGUNA AREATA LA TROVA is a wastewater treatment plant located in Canale, a locality within Città della Pieve, in the Umbria region of central Italy. The plant serves a population of 2,269, placing it in the small agglomeration category under EU regulations. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond the secondary treatment standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for sensitive areas. With a designed capacity of 5,000 cubic meters per day and a discharge volume of 449.18 cubic meters per day, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating potential for future growth. The treated effluent is discharged into the local water system, which ultimately drains into the Tiber River basin. The Tiber River flows through Umbria and Lazio before reaching the Tyrrhenian Sea near Rome. The advanced treatment level helps protect the sensitive aquatic ecosystems of the Tiber River and its downstream environments.

The plant discharges into the Tiber River basin, which flows through central Italy and empties into the Tyrrhenian Sea. The Tiber River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important water resource for agriculture and urban areas. The advanced treatment level helps minimize nutrient and pollutant loads, protecting the river's ecological health and the coastal waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
